Term 6 - Working Scientifically!
This term we will be exploring a variety of investigations. We will be writing predictions, recording our results and writing scientific conclusions. We will think carefully about fair tests and what this means.
The children are doing lots of exciting science throughout the week and you can find photos or what we go up to here!

We have really enjoyed our experiments, such as, learning about friction with car ramps covered in different materials and which materials react in different ways in water.
