Good Morning everyone. I hope you are all well. Are you all managing to get out and about and really looking at the plants and flowers around us? If you see anything interesting when you are out, take a photo and upload it.

THE LIFE CYCLE OF A FLOWERING PLANT

1. How are your seeds getting on?
2. I planted seeds from a melon.
3. I planted quite a few seeds in two different pots.

5. The second pot, I have put in the garage so I can compare them.
6. Is anything happening in either of your pots?
7. Mine are being very lazy!
8. Did you enjoy looking at the slow motion video from last week which showed seeds growing.
9. This is the video from last week

SCIENCE with Mrs. Macandrew

Hello everyone! Hope you are all well.

This week we will be looking at Sustainable (Renewable) Energy and Non Sustainable Energy sources.

1. We have found out about Sound Energy, Energy produced by wind, water, the sun, Nuclear Energy and Energy made from Fossil Fuels.
2. But which types of Energy are Renewable/Sustainable?

Hi there everyone! Mrs. Macandrew here. As I won’t be seeing you this week, here are the things we were going to talk about.

Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Energy

Wow whoever you are with – tell them what about what you already know about Energy! What does Energy do? Can you name any forms of Energy?

Do you remember what “Sustainable” and “Renewable” Energy means?

Today we are going to be looking at Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Energy

1. Some Electricity is created by Nuclear energy. It is the energy stored inside some materials. Scientists have learned how to capture large amounts of energy from these forces that can then be used to generate electricity.
2. Some Energy is created by using what we call Fossil Fuels. These are Coal, Oil and Natural Gas.
3. Watch Fossil Fuels 101
4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iubWN1cnwIs
5. Watch the PowerPoint attached called “Energy Experts,” including doing the survey.
6. Energy Experts
7. Discuss your findings and your ideas with someone at home.
8. Could you be saving Energy? How?
9. To go over again – Can you name the three forms of Fossil Fuels?
10. Next week – Non-Sustainable energy versus Sustainable Energy?

Have fun! See you here next week!
