Primary 7B definitely has some innovative inventors. It was great hearing about all of your inventions and hard work you have put in to creating your STEAM projects.
STRAWBERRY DNA
What a way to end STEAM week than extracting DNA from a strawberry… We had to work as a team and use our prior knowledge of DNA to see what we could find out.
Lego Calendar Challenge
Miss Morgan set a Lego construction challenge for Flexible Friday. We were given a 31 Lego calendar challenge and we got to choose a challenge to complete either individually or as a group. Have a look at what we made:-
Think Science
We had the opportunity to go to watch Think Science. Think science was really exciting and fun. There was a red balloon that had two equal forces one and the top and the bottom and that is how helium balloon floats. We also learnt that hot air floats.
Technology Fun
SUPER SCIENCE
WOW! Super science in Primary 7 today. We were so unbelievably lucky to be visited by David Hunter today. He brought lots of interesting resources for the children to use. There were huge balloons, liquid nitrogen, chemicals and much much more…
Have a look at these fantastic photographs of some of the exciting moments!
Prosthetics
Primary 7 had the opportunity to learn about prosthetics today. They were learning about how someone can be fitted for a wheelchair and how to properly measure someone. P7 learnt that it can take weeks of adjustments to get the correct wheel chaired prosthetics fitting. This is so important for someone who is getting fitted for something that could change their daily life.
Lego Design Challenge
Primary 7 started a Lego design challenge yesterday to get our STEAM brains active. The children could only choose a maximum of 5 pieces of Lego to design either a piece of jewellery or a sculpture. They will then be given more material as the week goes on to see if they are able to think of new design ideas. Primary 7 were also asked to think about their inspiration, who they were making it for and why they were making it
Beat the Street
Today we went out for P.E. and did beat the street. We went to ST Joseph’s, Carolside and Green Bank Church.
Beat the street is when you get a fob and buzz to collect points.
Science
During science today we learnt about density, negatively buoyant and positively buoyant. If the water is more dense than the object we put in the cup then it would float and if the water was less dense it would sink. Some of the objects we tried were an egg,blueberry,tangerine and penny.
