Science: Gummy Bears
Last week P1 and P2/3 predicted what they thought was going to happen when we put gummy bears in water. They were amazed when the gummy bears grew in size!
Amazing work P2/3

P2/3 – Science
Science: Inheritance
Yesterday P2/3 were learning about inheritance. We used Mr Men and Little Miss to understand how things can be passed down from our parents. The children were challenged with drawing a picture of what Mr Small and Little Miss Dotty’s child would look like using our new knowledge of inherited characteristics.
Amazing work P2/3!
P2/3 – Science Week
Science Week: Mrs McFarlane (music teacher)
On Friday morning Mrs McFarlane visited our class to teach us all about how science links to music. She had three very helpful Primary 7 pupils helping out and showing off their talents. Mrs McFarlane explained and demonstrated how sound travels which was really interesting and the children were so engaged. They learned that sound can travel through water and their body through a couple of experiments. They also learned that sound waves make vibrations and enjoyed this experiment the most.

Science: Water
P2/3 were learning about solids, liquids and gases and how water can evaporate and condense.
The children have set up an experiment to see if water in a container will condense or evaporate over time. Over the next couple of days we will monitor the water level in our containers.
Superb Science P2/3!

Science: Bubbles
If you have a bubble wand that is in the shape of a triangle or love heart will the bubble stay this shape?
This week the children had to predict whether they thought the bubbles would always be round or if they would stay the shape of the wand. P2/3 made their own bubble wands in any shape, from pipe cleaners, to test their theory.
We found that the bubbles were always round no matter the shape of the bubble wand. Ask the children why this is!
Brilliant bubbling P2/3!
P2/3 – Science
Science: Materials
Last week, Primary 2/3 were learning about Non-Newtonian Fluids. We started by predicting whether or not we thought we would be able to walk on a swimming pool full of custard, what do you think? The children discussed the difference between solids and liquids and then loved getting messy when exploring the cornflour.
Marvellously Messy P2/3!
