Class 7 had another exciting experiment where we tested air resistance. During it, we dropped our parachutes from a height to test their effectiveness!

Class 7 Gravity Experiment!
Today, Class 7 made their own straw rockets, but first tested the effects of gravity!

Crew Knowles: Science Week!
We’ve had a busy week this week practising for SATs so we spent the afternoon investigating sound by making ‘sound enhancers’ and investigating pitch using elastic bands! #ScienceWeek #OgdenTrust
Class 8 – science experiment 3: air resistance
The children have made their own parachutes today and tested to see which design worked the best. They had discussions about gravity and air resistance and had lots of fun! You are fantastic scientists, well done!
Class 10 – Learning About Reflection
Today, for Science Week, we have been learning about reflection and exploring different reflective surfaces in the classroom in order to create posters with our friends about our learning.
Class 10 – Exploring Shadows
On Tuesday, Day 2 of our Science Week, Class 10 enjoyed exploring shadows in the playground by drawing around them with chalk. Then back in the classroom, we investigated how the distance of the light source from the object effects the size of the shadow. We found that the further away the light source, the thinner the shadow!
Crew Ambler – Sound
As part of science week we have been investigating sound. Today we have taken part in an investigation creating our own guitar to investigate the different pitch we can make using different sized rubber bands #ScienceWeek #OgdenTrust
Class 8- science experiment 2- gravity
Today we explored gravity. We watched a video that explained that gravity is a force that pulls things towards the centre of the Earth.
The children then took part in their own experiment where they were predicting which ball would fall to the floor the quickest. There were 3 balls of different sizes and weights and they worked in small groups to test their theories. We then added a feather into the equation and learnt about Galileo’s ball and feather theory.
To finish off the session , the children created their own straw rockets and we tested them to see how far they would fly until gravity pulled them towards the Earth.
Another fabulous scientific day…we certainly have some budding scientists in class 8!
Extended Study – Science Week – Wednesday
Do you know how shadows are formed?
Use a torch or a light to create some of your own shadows. Take photographs and share them with your Crew Leader.
What is the strangest shadow you can form? Practice making different shapes using your light source.
Extended Study – Science Week – Tuesday!
Make a list of all the solids, liquids and gases that you see within the day. Share your responses in crew.
