Red Kites Investigate… | 28 Mar 2022
This morning, Red Kites stepped into the weird and wonderful world of non-Newtonian fluids. We learnt how, when force is applied, the fluid behaves like a solid! Have a look at the pictures below.
Red Kites spent the morning learning how to recreate the water cycle with a few simple pieces of equipment.
This week, as part of our topic we have planted some Broad Beans. We observed the different sizes and described how they felt. We then talked about what plants need to help them grow. We are going to take very good care of them and watch to see all the changes that take place. We …
Kingfishers inserted different materials into a circuit to see whether they conducted electricity and lit a bulb. We found that some were insulators and some were conductors (not the bus kind).
This morning, Red Kites began their investigation into the thickness (or viscosity) of different liquids. Check out the results below.
Tedious puns aside, Red Kites spent the morning learning about the three different states of matter and how some things like cola and toothpaste and sand can be very difficult to classify!
Woodpeckers spent the morning learning about states of matter and how to classify materials based on their properties. Toothpaste remains a contentious issue, but I think we got there in the end!
Doves and Kingfishers were treated to a unique Science lesson this week as part of our learning about the circulatory system. Dr Bowman kindly visited the school to share her expertise, performing a dissection of a heart and lungs. The session included an in-depth exploration and discussion of the key functions of the organs in …
Having been chemists during our lesson yesterday, today we became biologists who created an accurate representation of blood. Using Hama beads, chocolate sprinkles, water and custard, we studied the distributions and function of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets in the human body.
This afternoon, the Doves have been investigating the recipe for fake blood. You can create this using simple household items: golden syrup, flour, water, red and blue food colouring. Each group chose which variable they would investigate and were then given the exact measurements of the other 4 ingredients. Their job was to test and …
