This half term, our class had a fantastic time conducting lots of different science experiments! We looked at all of the different scientific enquiry types and all the different things we could do to explore them. We especially enjoyed creating the best container to drop an egg in! Some of our eggs smashed but some managed to survive the drop!
We also looked at how water ‘walks’ up a tree by conducting an experiment which looked at capillary action. It was so interesting to see the water move along the paper towels and transform the colours of them!
We’ve had a fantastic last half term together as a year 4 class and are so proud of all of our hard work, not just this half term but this year. We have thoroughly enjoyed science, and are all so excited to see the topics next year will bring!
“It was really cool when the paper towels changed colour, I was right when I said that the one between the yellow and blue would turn green” “I can’t believe my egg didn’t smash, I thought it was going to once Miss Morrison stood on the chair to drop it!” “The best lesson was when we created a way to stop our egg from cracking because we got to use lots of different materials”
It’s hard to believe that this has been our last term as a year 4 class, and what a term it has been! The children have shined. We have thoroughly enjoyed seeing their discussions and ideas and are so proud of how well all of the pupils have worked together. We’ve had so much fun in science this year and this unit of work has been the cherry on top! We can’t wait to see what they all get up to next year.
