A1 & P1 sink or float experiment

Good morning everyone Friday again. I hope you have all had a fun week of home learning. Today I thought we could have some fun with a science experiment. ☺

Sink or float

Gather up some items from around the house with an adult, fill up a paddling pool, basin or bucket of water and let’s see if the items sink or float.

Think about what the items are made of?  Are they heavy or light? Will they sink or float?

Here is a demonstration of a friend of mine having some great fun with this experiment

 

Let us know how you get on. Hava a lovely weekend. Stay safe

A1 & P1 obstacle course

Good morning A1 & P1 i hope you are all well and have had another good week of home learning. Today i thought we could get creative and active by making our very own obstacle course indoors or out in the garden. I recommend 6 or more different stations containing a challenge or movement that you must complete to move forward. You can use a number of everyday/household items to create your obstacle such as-

  • empty kitchen roll tubes
  • blankets
  • kitchen utensils
  • cushions
  • toys/teddies

the list is endless.

Here are a few ideas-

  • crawl under/over chairs
  • crawl under a piece of string attached to two chair legs
  • jump in and out of a hula-hoop 5 times
  • jump over a selection of cushions (the floor is lava)
  • throw a  bean bag/ball into a washing basket/box
  • do 10 jumping jacks

These are just a few ideas you can use but i would love to see what you can come up with.

I look forward to seeing some pictures of your obstacles lets get active and have fun. have a lovely weekend
