We have had a great start in science! We have been very impressed by the enthusiasm and the inquisitive minds of the children. We have some real scientists in our midst....could they be some of the greatest scientists of the 21st century?!  

Grade 3 is studying 'Helping Plants Grow' We have looked at parts of plants, key functions, used the microscopes to observe different types of roots and veins in leaves and even used hand magnifiers to study other plant parts up close! Grade 3 have recently planted Lima bean seeds testing if seeds need light and water…. What did we find out Grade 3?    

  Grade 4 - Enjoying Chemistry Experiments Grade 4 have had tons of fun using Bunsen burners, filters and have studies dissolving. Wow! Grade 4 are so mature they even used Bunsen burners and microscopes to identify the solute in a mystery solution. They really are good chemists! Who said Separating Solids and Liquids was a boring topic?   Grade 5 - The Mysteries of the Planets

Grade 5 have been learning about the Earth, Sun and Moon and have modelled the solar system. Hey can explain day and night and also share their results as to why different rooms are hotter than others… This week we will be focusing on the phases of the moon and observing the moon in our Moon Diaries.     Grade 6 - A force to be reckoned with! Grade 6 are now able to talk about Forces such as Gravity, weight and how mass can be converted to weight. They know about the effect of upthrust and how to design an amazing parachute! Grade 6 are excellent at graph work and experiment analysis… they really are clever clogs!
