On Thursday 8.12.11 year 3 and 4 were visited by The Science Museum. We watched a show called 'Feel the Force' which taught us about the forces magnetism, gravity, air resistance and friction.
After play, each class took part in a workshop called 'Get a Grip', where we explored the force Friction and we made hovercrafts.

On Thursday 8.12.11 the science museum came to our school. Year 3 and 4 got to see a lady from the science museum. Her name was Tracy. She told us about gravity and air resistance and air. She was very silly with Phil the toy frog. She pretended it died. Mr Cadwallader and a boy went to do a silly dance la la la la.
I made a hovercraft out of a cd, balloon, bottle top and candle wax. I really like it and my class does because it works.
I got a demonstration of the hovercraft when my son bought his home, it's great. It sounds like you all had fun and learnt something at the same time!
ReplyDeleteA great way to get children interested in science. Thanks to all who organised it!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very funny day I hope they come again.
