“We used different materials to muffle sound,” Scott.

“We tried using 2 different materials each time,” James.

“When vibrations stop, so does the sound,” Heather.

“Sound is made by vibrations,” Erin.

We looked at the ear and how sound travels.

“We learned that the ear has 3 parts,” James.

  “

“We did the cup and string experiment to hear sound travel through the string,” Callum.

“We saw what was inside and outside of the ear,” Andrew.

This week we used our sense of smell to identify different smells.

“The smells were really tricky to identify,” Callum.

“My favourite smell was toothpaste,” Andrew.

In science we have been experimenting with our senses.

Last week we used our sense of taste but removed our sense of smell to guess what the flavour of the  crisps were.

This week we used our taste buds on the different parts of our tongue  to taste salty, sour, bitter and sweet.

We also did another taste test,  removing our sense of sight to guess the flavour of the skittles.

We had an exciting afternoon starting our new topic in science.

” We drew round each other and labelled some parts,” Norah.

“I liked drawing and cutting out the different parts of the body,” Matthew.

“We were showing where we think the organs are in the human body,” Jack.

“We had fun dicussing what we think will happen to the celery and flowers,” Sarah L.

We have set up an investigation to find out what plants really need to grow.

Each group had a control and changed only one thing.

Group 1 changed the soil, group 2 changed the size of the container, group 3 changed the water and group 4 changed the light.

We are looking forward to finding out the results next week.  🙂
