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!

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

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
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!
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.
