With only a few weeks to go before our SATs here are some really useful science revision sites for you to enjoy.
Engineering Interact (Forces)
BBC Science Clips (Forces)
The Big Bus (Look in at the Explorers World and the Science section)
HEALTHY TEETH
The Central Incisors (front middle teeth) usually come in first, and then teeth begin appearing on either side and work their way back to the second molars. By the time a child has reached three years […]
Today we have started to look at microbes or micro-organisms. We explored a few online resources included a video from the Food Standards Agency
(click on the graphic for the video link)
MicrobeWorld
(click on the graphic for the link)
and a short activity on BBC Science Clips
(click on the graphic for the link)
Why not let us know what […]
We have been revising some work to do with the human body take a look at this little presentation that will help.

Thanks to Primary Resources for the file.
We have also been exploring (revising) the effects of exercise on our pulse rate. We have shared the data from both Year 6 classes using our […]
This is an open invitation to you and your class to help us with a science investigation.
We have been looking at how temperature affects the rate of dissolving. We timed how long it took for a sweetener (Canderel) to dissolve in different temperatures of water.
We pooled our results in our class but they are a […]
I have really enjoyed the 4 weeks in year 6 I enjoyed every topic but MOSTLY enjoyed the science it has been WICKED!!
We all worked in 2’s and 3’s and had to figure out a way to solve how to get a pilot who was stranded at sea a fresh drink of water. (so he doesn’t dehydrate) In my group we drew 4 diagrams of what they could do to try and get some clean water from […]
Today we looked closely at what evaporating and condensing are. Using a small pan of water we heated it using a stove. Although we added an orange dye to the water we did not see this colour when it evaporated or when it condensed.
Can you try to explain what happened to the water as it […]
We spotted a great little science activity on the 5/6P Allstars blog (from Sydney Australia) yesterday and asked for some clear instructions to help us try them out. They have written a great post with clear instructions and photographs to follow. We had some time to have a go and didn’t do too bad - […]
Today we did science.It was great fun we had to act as secret agents and turn a muddy water into clean water. It wasnt very easy we all worked in sixes or sevens. We each had a leader of our group. In our groups we all worked together as a table.
Equipment:Three jugs,A sieve,A funnel and […]
In our science we have been learning about some new important vocabulary. We have looked at what SOLUBLE and INSOLUBLE materials are. After adding some different solids to water (and stirred) we noticed that some of them DISSOLVED and some did not.
Here is a question for you though…
Can you clearly explain what DISSOLVING means and […]
