Moon Crater Experiment
We carried out a moon crater experiment to learn more about the surface of the Moon and planets like ours, Venus, Mercury and Mars. We investigated the factors that affect the size and shape of craters using marbles and how it relates to the craters on the moon.
Hydrophobic Art
Hydrophobic literally means โthe fear of waterโ. Hydrophobic molecules and surfaces repel water. Hydrophobic liquids, such as oil, will separate from water. Dyes and water colour paints are mostly made of water, which clings to paper. They do not adhere as easily to wax or oil.wax, an organic chemical, is hydrophobic.
Katherine Johnson
We created a fact file about Katherine Johnson . She was an amazing mathematician and scientist.She was one of the first African- American women to work as a mathematician for NASA.
Phases of the Moon
We worked in pairs and created a spinner which showed 8 phases of the Moon.The spinners were donated to Year 5 to help their learning about space in Autumn term..
SOLE- What if there were no Moon?
We recreated a double page spread to present our predictions of what could happen if there were no moon.
At the end of the day we shared out learning with Year 5.
