Look at all of the fun we had learning outside during our science morning. We asked lots of interesting questions and used all of our senses to investigate change.
Gloop
Metal detectors
Space sand...sand that you can mould under water!
Indigo fabric and sea life printing
Hello Bob! Mrs Smith is a geologist and a palaeontologist. We learnt that 'ology' means scientist. Mrs Gent is a zoologist. Mrs Smith has a huge collection of Belemnites, she taught us all about these ancient fossils and how they are formed in sedimentary rocks. We looked at her tools and had a go at digging for fossils ourselves. We found all sorts of interesting fossils including ammonites and a dinosaur tooth. We also found a fossil of a leaf. We learnt that the Earth is in layers and diamonds are very deep down. We looked at the precious stones and asked lots of interesting questions.
Mrs Davey visited us in her dry suit. She taught us all about her hobby. She is a diver! She talked to us about her regulator and how she has to very slowly resurface after being under the sea. Mrs Gent talked to us about how fish move in the water. Mrs Luke told us that she wears a wet suit when she swims in lakes. We learnt the difference between a dry and a wet suit and how they keep you warm.
Mrs Davey has seen lots of fascinating sea life on her diving adventures including a whale shark and most unusually a toilet!
