Science Work 2011/2012.

3rd/4th class are designing and making a bridge from an A4 sheet of paper. From the two photos the pupils discovered that the corrugated bridge held the most washers and is the strongest type of bridge.

  

Bridge 1 is called a walled bridge

Bridge 2 is called a corrugated bridge

 We sowed beans, peas and cress seeds.

Our mini garden

3rd/4th class are examining the snail as part of their work on ‘minibeasts’ in Science

3rd and 4th class Models of Hook Lighthouse. Each model has an electric circuit and a bulb that lights. Feb. 2012

 

Working in groups of three we made these eight models

Caitlin, Leah and Katie are proud of their lighthouse.

 

 Following are some Experiments by Rang 3 agus 4 as part of the Green School Theme ‘Water’. [Click to enlarge photos]

‘Wonder will this work’?

Matthew is showing the Water Filter he made to clean dirty water. Each pupil in 3rdand 4th Class made a filter.

We are making waves.

Katie and Caitlin discover what happens when you try to mix oil and water.

Showing Water Pressure

 Kevin, in 3rd class shows water pressure at work. The bottle has 3 holes. The jet of water from the bottom hole travels the furthest because it has more water pushing down.

Floating and Sinking

Exploring why some objects float and others sink

Some of the questions 3rd and 4th class tried to answer.

Why does the cork and the clothes peg float?
Why did the cent coin sink?
Why did the ball of plasticine sink and float when made into a bowl shape?
Why does a heavy ship not sink?
How can you make an orange sink?

 

A siphon at work.

 Nigel and Dean examine how a siphon works.

Balloon Rocket

 
Matthew and Hazel in 4th class are exploring air pressure with the balloon rocket.

Caitlin and Leah have fun with static electricity.
