06 Jul Science Enrichment Day
On Friday 1st July 2022, some of our year 5 children participated in a day full of awe and wonder! As part of the day, the children were treated to 4 workshops which tapped into their learning and understanding of the main aspects of science: biology, chemistry and physics. They learnt the main differences between acids and alkalis; they observed what happens when oxygen is removed from petrol- it gains a huge amount of energy resulting in a whopping explosion-which the children did not expect; they further developed their understanding of scientific diagrams, through observing using a microscope and then drawing woodlouse and water fleas; and they explored chromatography by looking at patterns created by a pendulum and the forces involved in the swing, such as gravity and kinetic energy.
