Science

Science lessons we enjoyed:

When looking at circuits we enjoyed making an alarm system. We read Horrid Henry and the Secret Club and found that Horrid Henry had a problem, Moody Margaret kept sneaking into his club. Using plastic coated wire, a battery, some cardboard with aluminium foil, and a buzzer we created an alarm system. When somebody stepped on the cardboard the alarm buzzed. 
















When looking at materials we wanted to know which materials would float. We began by watching a clip from Alice in Wonderland, the pool of tears. We imagined that the classroom was flooded by a pool of tears and began to find out which objects would float. We then designed and made a curious creature, that might appear in Alice and Wonderland, which would float.

  3. We really like your ideas for an alarm system. We have learnt about circuits in our class too. We would like to know how loud the buzzer was?

  4. We also love Horrid Henry and the Secret Club. One afternoon we made our own secret clubs with a friend.

    This week in science we went outside to carry out a chemical reaction, we will create a new post about this soon.
