Science
Great Ocean Science Day
As part of the science day, Year 5 first explored the different forms ‘models’ can take, and their uses.
After exploring the context of corals being bleached, the children then agreed on a key question to be modelled. With this in mind, the children wrote predictions on what they thought would happen to the colour of the skittles when the water temperature was changed.
The children the set up their model, making sure they used the same amount of skittles and water each time. The children tried to accurately time when the water was poured and when all the colour met in the middle.
With their findings, the children created graphs to visualise the patterns and anomalies that occurred.
The children wrote conclusions on their findings, and wrote up evaluations for the model itself and their modelling.
Year 5 shared their modelling with Year 2!
