Primary 5 are looking at forces in science.
Our challenge today was to design a parachute showing air resistance and gravity. This involved working in a small group, sharing ideas, testing parachutes and evaluating designs.
As part of Science week and our IDL topic the children have been exploring how to make and test predictions about solids dissolving in water.
Experiment one involved the children to predict, investigate and record how solubility is affected by heat and stirring. The children had to predict which method would dissolve the sugar the quickest and why. We looked at this through using cold water, warm water, warm water stirred or cold water stirred. The children all worked in groups and discovered that the warm stirred water was the quickest because when water is heated and stirred, the molecules gain energy and thus, move faster.
To follow this experiment we also did the Skittle Experiment and the children loved learning that warm water dissolves the food colouring on the sweets and makes beautiful rainbow patterns. The children all had good fun and enjoyed being Scientists.
Primary 2 have been loving our new human body topic! We are looking forward to more human body fun and learning next week.
P5 have been learning about the Human Body. We have learned about the functions of the skeleton, the organs and the main systems in our body. Here we are working together to create a model of the Digestive system to show how food passes through the body. Great Fun !
Well done P5.
