Summer 2021- Me, Myself and I (Dyma Fi)
This term we are looking at the human body and all the amazing things our body can do. We will look at our organs, skeleton and how to stay healthy. The class have decided they want to investigate heart rate, lung capacity and the effects of exercise on our body.
In the second half of the term we will be learning to be healthy and confident individuals by learning about how to lead and live healthy lives.
Science Week
At the end of May we enjoyed our first Science Week. We decided that the investigations we wanted to look at were one to do with materials, one to do with sound and another to do with air resistance.
We did 6 investigations all together:
Materials- Made our own lava lamp
Float or Sink?
Air Resistance- Made our own parachutes
Helicopter investigation
Sound- Which material is best for soundproofing?
How does sound travel?
