We Are Scientists

Autumn 2

During Autumn 2 term our focus was on materials and their properties. We looked at the properties of materials that are suitable conductors of electricity.
We also looked at thermal conductors and insulators by experimenting on which materials are most suitable for a coffee cup. We looked at which cups obtained the most heat after a period of time and then covered each cup in a different material to act as an insulator to see the how this affected our results. 
Finally, we looked at the solubility of different materials by mixing different solids with liquids, noting which materials were soluble and which were not. We then used different equipment to try and separate our mixtures.

Autumn 1

As scientists we will investigate The Human Body by focusing on Gestation and Infancy, Adolescence and Puberty, Slowing Down and Growth in Humans and Animals.
