Science Day!!!

This week in Year6, we had one particular day we all enjoyed. Which was... Science day!!! We had to have this day for our A.P.P work, for our secondary school and to level up our work. We had to go to 4 different scenarios which were:


  • Nature Garden with Mrs. Robeens

  • Ice Cube test with Mrs. Allen

  • Magnet test with Ms. Willers

  • And weight test with Mr. Clarkson

The nature Garden.


During the nature garden process, we were trying to ask scientific questions about the nature in our world. We also had to make up a experiment using the questions


The Ice Cube test.


In this scenario we had to find a powerful material to melt the ice cube. The materials were: polystyrene, bubble wrap and polystyrene sticks. After the test we concluded that polystyrene melted the ice cube the quickest.


Magnet test.


In this scenario we had to see which was the strongest magnet. We found out that, the 'U' shaped magnet was the best to use. Then, we wrote down the results on a sticky note and filled it in with our results. We also had fun after our investigation.


Weight test.


Finally, we visited Mr. Clarkson. Here we had to experiment if weight matters when things fall down. We had a choice of paper, rice, water and lentils weighing different weights. After all the experiments( in this scenario) we found out that weight doesn't matter but the surface are does.


After all our hard work. We were relieved to just colour and make our 3D shape on Maths day.


#Hurray!#
