World Science Day
For our science lesson this week, we celebrated World Science Day. Our very own Mrs Moore from year 3/4 came to tell us all about her previous job as a scientist and also shared some super science facts with us.
Mrs Moore showed us pictures of a laboratory and how to take specimens. Do you know Mrs Moore had to test blood, wee and poo for the hospital to make sure the patients could get better!
Mrs Moore then informed us that in our bodies we have electricity and when we held hands and a special bulb it lit up with multicolour lights. Finally, we learnt about magnetic forces and how we could move the car (paper clip), around the road.
During independent learning time, we got to be scientists. We dressed in our lab coats with our surgical gloves and goggles. We used the magnifying glass to examine the spider and snake skin and also explored the electricity in our bodies using the special bulb. We also experimented with magnets and explored how to use magnetic forces to move metal objects around.
Mrs Moore also showed us how to make lava lamps and we each had a go adding together all the ingredients and watched them react with each other to create a lava lamp effect.
