Science Week 2024

Science Week 2024- Time
 
So far we have been outside to search for signs of Spring, finding daffodils, primroses, catkins, birds singing, tadpoles.
 
We have been trying to work out how some of our toys change light. We hooked up the big switches to the bubble tube and took it in turns to change the colour. Then we made some light shadow pictures, sticking them to the window to see what happens to the paper over time.
 
We have been looking at the shape of the hill that Launceston Castle is on. We are thinking it looks like a volcano. We have found out that there were volcanoes in Devon and Cornwall a very very very long time a go. 
 
We had a lot of fun exploring how to make our own volanoes by mixing vinegar or lemon juice with bicarbonate of soda. Lots of mess...the best sort of learning!
