What a fun, interesting and exhausting day we had on Friday!
We had our very first SCIENCE EXTRAVAGANZA Day, where we all worked in our Gemstone Learning Teams on different science activities.
There were:
- Exploding dinosaurs – chemistry
- String telephones – sound
- Forensic Science – whodunnit?
- Magnets
- Musical instruments – sound
- Solids, Liquids and Gases!
It was wonderful to see the Learning Teams behaving so well – it was especially lovely to see how the older students looked after the younger ones so carefully and with such concern.
Just in case we have any budding Albert Einsteins or Marie Curies at BSPS don’t forget that we have lots of exciting science books for you to borrow from the Library.
You can find the science section in the 500s in the non-fiction part of the Library.
There are books here on science activities to try at home, or books on specific topics so you can find out more about chemistry or magnets or sound .
If you like your science “horrible” we have lots of Horrible Science books to choose from or you might like to visit the website too.
The Science Kids have lots of fun experiments for you to do yourself so pop over to this website at home.
Great pictures. Friday looked like fun.What exacly did you do ?
Hello Summer,
In the pictures the kids are investigating magnets.
In the first picture there are lots of little things to try to see which ones are attracted to the amgnet – thses things are metals.
In the middle picture we were trying to move an object (in the test tube) from the bottom of the test tube to the top without touching it! If the object was metal we could use a magnet to move it 🙂
In the last picture we are “fishing” using fishing poles with magnets on the end and trying to catch little paper fish we had drawn and attached a paper clip to.
It was fun 😀
