British Science Week 2021

 

Wow! We have really enjoyed taking part in British Science Week 2021 in school. We have carried out lots of different activities to become mini-scientists.

As we have just returned to school following Covid-19 restrictions, we decided to talk about hygiene and germs and the effect they can have on our bodies using glitter.

We revisited our year group planters to observe the changes to the bulbs that we planted in November. They have started to grow through the soil. We thought about why they had grown so much.

We also looked at different seeds and decided to see if we could grow some in our classroom without using soil. We put tiny cress seeds on moist cotton wool and big beans into window greenhouses. We will observe the changes we see over the next few months.

We carried out a BIG Science UK experiment using coloured sweets to show how colour runs when mixed with water. We also looked at sugar density by dissolving the sweets in water.
