Energy Changes

Today, year 3 Obama, explored how energy can change. They explored 5 different experiments to find out what energy is originally used and what energy it changes into. They looked at how chemical energy in batteries can change into light energy. They also explored how light energy can be used to charge glow in the dark objects and how this energy is stored and released slowly. Another investigation involved using light energy to make a solar toy move.

Digestion

We have learned about the series of organs which break down food. Did you know that there are over 100 healthy bacteria in your gut? A healthy diet is a healthy gut and a healthy gut is a healthy mind!

Where do materials come from?

We have learnt about where different materials come from. We then completed a matching activity. We worked in groups to match the materials to their source.

Light Sources

Today, year 3 explored light and darkness. They learnt that darkness is the absence of light and a light source is an objects that produces its own light. They learnt that fireflies, glow worms and anglerfish all produce their own light too.

We predict, observe, collect and share our findings

Some very special, individual projects lead us to some exciting experiments in class today. Our children showed independence in preparing, conducting and explaining their work. We worked as scientists to predict, observe, collect and share our findings about physics, biology and chemistry.
 

Microhabitats

Year 2 Goodall explored our school environment for microhabitats. We found and recorded lots of different animals in their homes.
