Science Club
During the Spring Term, Miss McKay our Science lead, launched a Science Club for members of Year 4 and Year 5.
Her fellow scientists conducted many investigations, whilst exploring WOW activities which developed their curiosity about the natural world.
Some of these fabulous investigations included:
-
Who can make the strongest structure? How many building cubes can it hold?
-
Can we fit through a piece of paper?
-
Does the size of the gyrocopter effect how many times it spins or how long it takes to fall to the floor?
-
Which boat can hold the most building cubes?
AND the messiest, but most enjoyable of all- MAKING CORNFLOUR SLIME.
Cornflour slime is also known as a Non-Newtonian liquid. This means it changes states between a solid and liquid depending on the pressure you apply. If you apply pressure to the mixture it will stiffen and become a solid, but leave this on your hands and it will melt away like ice cream!
