Last week, Primary 5 visited Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, where we learned all about the amazing world of oceans. The highlight of our visit was the Oceans Workshop, where the children took part in five engaging activities:

• Creating an Ocean Food Web: Exploring how all marine life is connected.
• Ocean Layers: Identifying animals that live in the different ocean zones.
• Pressure Experiments: Understanding how pressure increases with depth.
• Coral Acidification: Using chalk to see how pollution affects coral reefs.
• ROV Expedition: Learning how robots help scientists study deep-sea animals.

We also toured Dynamic Earth, discovering more about our planet, the water cycle, and ocean ecosystems.

Have a look at our pictures to see the fun we had on this exciting learning adventure!

Primary 5 explored the concept of buoyancy by making their own boats out of tin foil! They learned that buoyancy is the force that helps objects float in water. Each group designed a tin foil boat and then tested how many marbles it could hold before sinking. They had so much fun experimenting with different shapes and sizes of boats to see which one could hold the most marbles. Primary 5 discovered that if the boat was bigger and had more layers of tin foil, it could hold more marbles. Some boats could hold up to 205 marbles!
