Making Rocket Explosions in Room 5!

Room 5 have been exploring Space throughout term 1.

We really wanted to learn about rockets and how they took off. We decided to do a science experiment with alka seltzer, plastic film containers and some water.The rockets worked  very very well and flew like a real spaceship!

We have written instructions for whoever would like to try it out!

Science Investigations in Room 5

Room 5 carried out a science investigation into what might affect the size of a crater when a meteorite hits a planet.  They investigated a number of variables including the size, shape and weight of the meteorite and the surface landing.  They presented their results to the class and found that:

– the heavier the meteorite, the bigger the crater produced

– the bigger the meteorite, the bigger the crater produced.

– the flattest shapes made the biggest craters and

– the softer the landing surface, the bigger the crater.

They are looking forward to carrying out their next investigation!

Sustrans Hands Up Survey Results

Between 7th – 11th September, our Junior Road Safety Officers carried out the Sustrans Hands Up Survey by visiting all classes in the school.

As you can see from the chart below lots of the boys & girls at Lawmuir are travelling to school in a healthy way.

The most popular method of transport by a long way is by walking to school. Well Done everyone! Keep it up!
