Hello! It is Friday 10th March and the LAUNCH of British Science Week. This year the theme is…

What comes to mind when you think about ‘connections‘?

We have been making Connections with STEM organisations and events such as…

Primary 6 and 7 visited Dynamic Earth on Thursday for their STEM Careers Day.

Generation Science will be visiting on Monday to deliver an assembly to everyone

Pupils from Primary 1-7 will be visiting the City Art Centre on either 27, 28 or 29th March to get hands on with the Edinburgh Science Festival

Have a little prediction about what exciting activities you’ll be getting stuck in to but for now have a peek at British Science Week’s…

Gummy Bears!

03/17/2022 mrspeoples

Our final experiment this week looks at the effect of water, salt and sugar on gummy bear sweets.

We added the bears to three different solutions (keeping a control dish too) and we then left them to see what happens. We learnt the names of some new science apparatus too – pipette and Petri dish.

We have set up some exciting growing experiments in class this week and made our predictions about what will happen. We have planted 8 pots of cress and are going to give them different growing conditions to see how they get on.

The conditions they will spend the next week or so in are:

* with soil, with sunlight, with water.

* without soil, with sunlight, with water.

* without soil, without sunlight, with water.

* with soil, without sunlight, with water.

* with soil, with sunlight, without water.

* with soil, without sunlight, with water.

* without soil, without sunlight, with water.

* without soil, without sunlight, without water.

Keep eyes peeled here for our findings!!

Do our hands grow?

To start off science week we have been tasked with finding out if your hands grow. Each class has found the median and average hand length – Primary 4 had a median length of 15cm and an average length of 153mm.
