5Red’s Science Week Extravaganza

Mrs Masters

Why are Scientists important to modern-day life?

This is the big question Year 5 have been investigating this week. We learned about different scientists each day and completed work around each of them. Step into the Fabulous 5Red week of learning.

David Attenborough – We were able to describe the life and work of Attenborough and we researched some strange and wonderful animals to create a triarama.

Crime scene investigation – this type of science is very important for solving crimes. We looked at Chromatography, exhibits and fingerprints. We were given a murder to solve and we used our newly developed skills to find out the murderer. It was very fun.

Researched our own scientists – Today we were given a challenge to research a person who has made an impact on our everyday lives. This was very eye opening for our children. Here is some of the work we completed.

Eva Crane – Eva Crane was a fantastic scientist how championed the Bees.🐝 She understood their importance and studied them for the rest of her life. We completed many different things, we researched the life cycle of a bee, we then created fact files about Eva Crane. Next we went on a bug hunt where we looked at different bugs habitats. Finally, we made a big hotel.

Leonardo Da Vinci – the oldest scientist we looked at this week was Da Vinci. He was considered to be the most intelligent man of all time. This was due to his amazing scientific brain which he used to paint the Mona Lisa and stretched the first prototype helicopter. We then tested his theories about proportions of our bodies.

    Which scientist was your favourite and why?
    My favourite scientist is Patrica Bath because when I was researching about her I found out that she has created a really smart device for people who has cataracts . This device helps in surgery by making the surgery less painful than before.

    Which scientist has had the largest impact on modern day life?
    In my opinion I think that every scientist had a large impact . However I think Marie Curie had one of the largest impact because she created what we call a x ray and this is one of the first tests doctors do to see what is wrong with you. If she did not create this finding out what bone is broken would be extremely difficult.

    M y favourite scientist is Patricia Bath because she discovered and invented a new device and technique for cataract surgery known as laserphaco.

    Which scientist has had the largest impact on modern day life?
    I think Patricia Bath had the largest inpact on modern day life because she is helping people by the treatment.

    Which scientist was your favourite and why?
    My favourite scientist was Eva Crane because she made many discoveries and theories about bees and their life cycle.
    Which scientist has had the largest impact on modern day life?
    I think the scientist that made an impact on our modern world is Marie Curie because she was the person who invented x-rays and without them we could not look at the bones in our human body to see if they are damaged or not.
