Science Day 27th January 2020
Year 3/4 loved learning all about light. They investigated how shadows are formed using shadow puppets and they designed their own emojis using tracing paper, reflecting their designs on to a surface using a torch. They also investigated refraction using straws in water. They then created their own 'sunset in a glass' by adding milk to the water and shining a torch on the cloudy mixture from different angles. They observed the change in colour and linked this to what occurs during a real sunset.
Rocks and their properties - We investigated soil permeability to find out which would be best to build a pyramid on!
