Primary 6 have been learning about the properties of different materials in the Science class. They conducted an experiment  to make density columns to see that different fluids have different densities. They poured a layer of treacle, then water, then oil into a beaker.  These layers remained separate on top of each other and even after being stirred, they settled back into 3 layers with the most dense liquid at the bottom and the least dense on top. They then added small classroom objects to the beaker and noted how far they sank as an indication of their density. Metal objects were most dense and sank straight to the bottom of the beaker while light plastic objects stayed in the top layer.

Primary 4 have been learning all about the human skeleton in Science. They learned why we need our skeletons for support, movement and as protection for our inner organs. In these photos you can see them building skeletons and matching up the bones to their names.

The pupils in P4/5 were involved in various sound experiments in these pictures. One group made bottle chimes. They were exploring how sound changes with different levels of water in bottles when you strike the bottles. Another group were making glasses sing by wetting the rim of the glasses and using the correct pressure, making the glasses vibrate by rubbing around the rims. This produces a high pitched noise. Others were involved in making water whistles to  investigate how the pitch of the sound varies as they blow into a straw and raise and lower the straw.
