We all really enjoyed our Science experiment and being able to show our results at the school Science Fair. Our project was about Forces. It was called EXPAND A BAND. We learned about different types of forces. We tested to see if elastic bands expand when weight is added to them, without the elastic band […]
This year for our 6th class Science Fair project, we explored forces, and gravitational pull. The question that led our investigation was ‘Does the Steepness of a Slope Effect the Distance a Toy Car Can Travel?’. We worked in groups to establish a fair test to carry out to find a plausible answer to our […]
Plastic wrappers – they’re on everything! From crisp packets to bags of chopped apples, chocolate bars to the cling film wrapping on vegetables in the shops, it’s hard to avoid it. And where does most of it end up? In the dump. 5th class came across a very interesting project being run by Seal Rescue […]
Experiment Title: Inspector Detector Our experiment involved exploring the force of both magnets and magnetic fields. Before beginning our experiment we needed to get a little bit of background information on magnets, their force, and their uses. With this in mind we did a mini lesson on magnets and magnetism. We learned that in order […]
We have been very busy this week in 2nd class practicing being young scientists and conducting our sugar cube experiment! We worked on the Materials strand and investigated Properties and Characteristics of Materials. We wanted to identify and investigate materials that absorb water and those that are waterproof and hopefully we could answer the question: […]
