Science Week

Thank You

Isobel Mair Science Team 2015  would like to say a massive THANK YOU to all of the pupils, teaching staff and parents who took part in science week. Our fair was amazing- and involved every class in school.

We would also like to thank the staff from Glasgow University, Strathclyde University and Eastwood High School for hosting workshops all week for the children. We’ve had a mobile planetarium, light diffraction glasses and we’ve even made poo in a bucket!

Have a look at some of our photos from an amazing week……

Science Week

gdw_british_science_week_logoCome be a Scientist at IMS

This week we are celebrating Science Week and we have been lucky enough to  have workshops run by Glasgow Uni, Strathclyde and Glasgow Science Centre.

We are all very excited about the  spectrograph session, looking at light diffraction through glasses.

Other activities include  CSI forensic workshops,  bodyworks ‘Making Poop’ biology workshop and the mobile planetarium.

It certainly is a fun week of learning and fun.

Class Bute’s Invention

Class Bute have been learning about materials for their science topic.

Here is a quick update of what they have been doing over the past few weeks.

Week 1 – as an intro they learned about the properties of straw, sticks and bricks via the story of The Three Little Pigs.

Week 2 – was all about sensory materials – gloop, waterballs, etc

Weeks 3 – 5  is all about transforming paper using ‘machines’ – punches, embossers, staplers, scissors and a paper crinkler.

This week class Bute are preparing for the Science Fair. Their  invention is a paper aeroplane launcher mostly for use to support pupils in wheelchairs in flying a paper aeroplane.
The class had great fun trying out this invention last week and you could hear the hearty laughter from Ethan as the aerolane was launched from outside the conference room.

Science and Engineering Week 2013

Science Week 2013

This week we are celebrating Science and Engineering week.

All the classes have been busy with individual topics in classes but have also had the opportunity to work with invited guests, sharing their skills and knowledge.

Monday:-  we made amazing sculptures from newspaper. Everyone taking part enthusiastically with team work and lots of great ideas!

Wednesday: –  we had a Chemistry lab as part of Science week. We had great fun experimenting with chromatography and made a bouncing ball from PVA.  All great fun and learning lots of new skills.

On Friday we are having a Science Fair in our MOD. Classes are displaying their topic work to show to all the classes and parents in the morning and some of the cluster schools are visiting us in the afternoon.
