We had a great time celebrating Science Week!
We all love trains, cars and planes in our class so we decided to investigate how our toys move.
We investigated which toys roll, spin, swing and bounce.
We predicted how some of our favourite toys move and then put them to the test!
We tested if our toys rolled using a ramp and recorded our predictions and results.
Check out our investigation in action…
Our results showed that cars, a minion teddy and a yoga ball rolled successfully down our ramp but a 2D triangle didn’t roll. We were happy that we predicted all of these results successfully 😊
We also created our own spinners and pinwheels to test how spinning toys work. We love building and designing.
We also created art work using swinging pendulums that we made in class. We love the unique designs we made!
During Science Week we also attempted to make slime using corn flour but our results were varied! The first time we tried, our two ingredients, corn flour and water didn’t mix well together at all. We found that there was liquid on the top and a solid, chalk – like substance stuck at the bottom.
We would like to try a better recipe next time but we still had fun! We tried it twice and the second time, the consistency was definitely more slimey but think we could do better.
We hope you enjoyed reading about our activities and if you have any questions, please let us know 😊 Make sure to check out our display in the corridor in school too!
