Science

Wow!! Our Science week lesson was a really exciting today. The children had been challenged to think about Curious Chemistry. They started with milk, food colouring and washing up liquid to make the colours move and then they used skittles to create rainbows on their plates. It was a huge challenge to observe only with our eyes, but the results were amazing!

Year 4 kickstarted British Science Week with lots of curiosity as they explored the fizzy reaction between citric acid and bicarbonate of soda to make their own sherbet sweets. They tasted the ingredients and created their own recipe based on their taste preferences, before enjoying their sherbet by dipping in a lollipop. Yum!

Year 1 have come to the end of their Seasonal Changes topic this week, by investigating how clouds are made. They conducted an experiment with warm water and an ice cube to observe how water vapour cools and and forms the start of clouds.

In Science, Year 4 have kick-started their new science topic; States of matter. They explored the properties of solids, liquids, and gases by investigating balloons filled with ice, water, and air and discussed how each state of matter behaves differently.
