Super Science Day

On Wednesday we held our annual whole school science day. In Year 1 and 2 we had a big focus on materials and their uses.

First of all we were looking at whether different materials would sink or float! We predicted our ideas first and then tested them!

Our next investigation was to find the best material for melting ice.Each group was given an ice ball and a type of material and we observed over time to see which one melted first! 

After that, we investigated which material wold make the best aeroplane! 

In the afternoon we had a workshop with Anne from Sam's Simple Science. We experimented with ice plates, food colouring and salt. We were amazed to find that the salt melted the ice and make beautiful coloured patterns on the ice! After, we made tomato packet divers using bottles and water! And then finally, we made wind tunnels! Only we know how you can blow up a massive bag in just one, short breath! you'll have to ask us! 

We would like to say a BIG 'Thank you' to Anne from Sam's Simple Science for coming in and working with us! We had a super day!
