During our first week back after the holidays the children have been set a couple of whole school science challenges. All children this week have thought about what science is to them and have either drawn pictures, written captions or short sentences to describe what science is, where we find science, how does science happen and who are scientists.
Alongside this we have taken part in a whole school investigation to see which material is best to help water walk. All children have discussed what working scientifically means and looked at the different types of scientific enquiry. (Pattern seeking, Fair test, Comparative test, Observing Over Time, Identifying, Grouping and Classifying, Research Using Secondary Sources.) Each class then decided what type of scientific enquiry they would use to investigate which material is best to help water walk and decided how they would carry this out.
