It's been all go in Room two this last week. On Tuesday we were lucky enough to go to the Da Vinci exhibition at the Nelson Museum. We had fun exploring lots of mechanisms and machines invented by Da Vinci.
In Inquiry at the moment we are focussing on the upcoming Science Fair. We have been learning all about Fair Testing. Below you can see the results we we placed a gummy bear overnight in two different liquids. We found that the gummy bear grew the largest in the cup full of water. We learnt about the process of Osmosis.
We also had fun exploring making parachutes. We had to decide what was the one variable that we would change to make it a fair test. Some of us changed the size of our parachute, the material the parachute was made of, and others the shape.
We've also had fun during some hockey sessions with some coaches from Nelson Hockey
In writing we have been learning about writing instructions. Check out some of the instructional videos below that we have made.
