This week our homework is based on Science week

Science spelling words

Today we discussed the meaning of important science words when planning an experiment. Practice the words by typing them and testing someone at home.

volume

investigation

variable

hypothesis

equipment

experiment

conclusion

research

Research a famous scientist – could be Scottish or international.

you could put the information into a powerpoint, a mind map, a leaflet, a poster or could record your own video of yourself talking about them.

plan our next science experiment

next week we are going to be planning and carrying out a science experiment with plants. This could be anything you want and whatever, you plan for homework we will do.

here is the template for the booklet to help you plan.

Any questions just ask me in class.

Today is the start of Science week 2018!

We are planning a science experiment which will be carried out in the kitchen on Thursday.

We are performing two investigations  into the speed of cooking pasta

1. which type of liquid will cook it the quickest
   • tea
   • coffee
   • water
2. which type of pasta will cook the quickest
   • shells
   • twists
   • spaghetti

Today we planned the variables – this means all of the things that you can possibly change for example – temperature, amount of liquid, type of pot.

On Wednesday we will finalise the plans and then carry out the experiment on Thursday.

In PE we were building up our strength and flexibility with gymnastics.

We were jumping, crawling, climbing and rolling.
