Last week was science week in school. We really loved all the different science experiments we did in class. The Transition class delivered a different experiment each day. They were all about the senses. On Monday we had sight, Tuesday we had touch, Wednesday was smell, Thursday was taste and Friday was about hearing. Our favourite was the touch experiment. We had to place our hand in to a box, have a feel around then use the photo cards to decide what we thought was inside the box. Some of the pupils were very good at guessing.
We also got very messy and created our own slime in a bowl. Most of the children were confident individuals putting their hand in the bowl, lifting their hands in the air and letting it fall through their fingers and into the bowl. We also made stomp rockets and watched them fly – some even hit the ceiling. We also used oil, water and food colouring to make our own lava lamp. We enjoyed this and it was very calming.
