Year 5-Science Week

This week year 5 pupils have had great fun exploring a range of different science experiments.
During this unit, the children used their reciprocity skills to design and conduct various investigations and recorded their observations. They also showed fantastic communication and listening skills when working in small groups on the polystyrene, metals and perfume oil experiments.

In addition, the children conducted several experiments outdoors as part of the 'Outdoor learning' focus on Wednesday. The iron wool, whoosh bottle and thixotropic slime were among the children's favourite investigations and definitely required a large, outdoor space!

In summary, the children have learnt and applied their knowledge of particle theory and chemical reactions to conduct a multitude of experiments and had a brilliant time doing so!

Fayo from Maple said, "This week has been really good, the experiment helped us develop a range of skills."
