On Friday afternoon we did our final Science Week activity. We learned all about floating and sinking. Our task was to design a boat that could float and carry cargo. All of our boats were able to float but the winning boats were Luther’s and Isabella’s which managed to carry more than 20 pieces of cargo! We have thoroughly enjoyed engaging in our Science Week activities and getting hands-on opportunities to be Scientists!
Class 5 learned all about the effects of gravity. We also loved finding out what happened to astronauts when there is no gravity. We watched a video all about how an astronaut washes her hair in space. It was so fun seeing all the water droplet floating away and the astronaut trying to catch them! We made straw rockets to test the effects of gravity. It was so much fun!
The children had fun with magnets today! They had a look to see how they attracted and repelled each other. They then found different objects around the classroom to see what was attracted to the magnets. The children then tested metal stationary to see how many they could attach to their magnet…it was lots of fun!
Y6 have taken part in a range of experiments linked to sound. We studied how we hear sound and what causes sound as part of our science week investigation. Well done Y6 it looks like you had a lot of fun! #OgdenTrust
Yesterday class 8 enjoyed testing different objects to see which were the best at floating and which ones sunk. They predicted what would happen based on the material of the object.
They had lots of fun but it was also great to see them using their knowledge of materials from our Autumn term expedition!
Great work class 8!
Today, Class 7 tested friction of different objects and also the friction of cars on different surfaces.

Class 7 have completed an experiment where they tested what objects would float or sink!

Louie has been a super scientist at home this weekend and has done an experiment with his grown ups. They were looking at different volcanoes and it was so much fun!
Well done Louie, I love that you have been continuing you learning at home.
Keep up the great work.

Class 5 have been enjoying learning about Forces. We have learned about pushes and pulls and how they effect objects. We did some fun experiments to help us to discover how forces work. We even had fun seeing what happens when an object has the same amount of force coming from two different directions. I wonder if the children can explain their learning at home?
Class 7 had another exciting experiment where we tested air resistance. During it, we dropped our parachutes from a height to test their effectiveness!
