Germ Investigation- Year 2

This half term, Year 2 will be learning about health and hygiene within Science. To start off our topic, we have conducted an observation about how bacteria spreads. We have conducted this investigation by touching 3 pieces of bread with clean hands, dirty hands and hands in gloves. We will observe how the bread changes over the next few weeks and find out if soap really does help to slow down the growth of bacteria!

Year 5 - Mini Scientists in Orchard and Hawthorn Class...

This week in Science, Orchard and Hawthorn (Hawchard) joined together for a collaborative investigation!

As our topic this half term is materials, we investigated the reactions of different materials; these included plaster of paris, sand, salt, sugar, baking soda and powder paint. 

We mixed these individually with water and observed what happened. It was great fun to see the substances that were created and we used our scientific vocabulary to record what we observed - 'dissolve'  'translucent' 'transparent' 'opaque'.
