More wildlife

Can you see the weasel?

A small Hogglet meets Y6

And a Tawny Owl

Rats and foxes

We know the answer

Brown rats

And red foxes

A colourful day for Y6

Y6 trip to British Wildlife Centre

We arrived at the Centre and after a Mammal Detectives talk we entered the Red Squirrel enclosure.

It’s another squirrel eating

Elementary my dear Y7

Year 7 have been testing the properties of elements in their study of the periodic table. 

Do they conduct electricity?

Are they magnetic?

Write down the results

Note it’s appearance

Does it bend?

We will be looking at compounds soon. 

Year 5 estimate the number of daisies on the golf course

On Tuesday Y5 used quadrats to count daisies along different random lines (called transects) across the golf course. 

They calculated the average number of daisies per square metre. The area of the golf course was found by taking its dimensions using a trundle wheel. Multiply the two and you get an estimation of the number of daisies on the golf course. 

7A investigate pressure

7A have been working on pressure and as a final investigation looked at the conditions that made water rockets go furthest.
Having predicted three key variables that might make the most difference they split into groups each testing one of these independent variables; amount of water in the rocket, angle of launch and size/shape of bottle. The dependent variable for all of these was the distance travelled.
You can see the testing in progress here:

After analysis of the results 7A concluded that there was one variable that made the most difference to the flight path and this was beyond their control - the wind. Why didn't Mr P choose a calm day to conduct this experiment?
