All about Water

We looked at the different properties of water using different apparatus.  We discovered that water is fluid and takes the shape of any container.

Using the different apparatus to fill the utensils.

Ice Pictures

2 Comments

We looked at different ice pictures to understand why living things cannot survive in winter.  We looked at the pictures over the day and took the temperature with a digital thermometer at points throughout the day.  The smells were wonderful!

Making A Wormery

Leave a comment

As part of our on- going science project on living creatures, we have made a class wormery.  We will only have it in class for a short time as the worms need to go back to their natural habitat.

Looking for soil and worms. We tried last week, but it was too dry.

The final product! Add worms and leaves on top. We keep them covered with black paper and have a little peep to see what they are up to.

We were very lucky to have Zoo Lab visit us.  We got to hold a lot of the creatures.

Going On A Bug Hunt

2 Comments

We have been looking at living things in science and went on a bug hunt.  We took the petri dishes with us to take our bugs back into class and looked at them under a microscope.   They looked amazing.  We released our bugs back in to the Eco Garden.

It was like going to Narnia as we headed into the wood through the overgrown hedge!
