In science this week we focused on electrical conductivity. In order to test which types of objects best conduct electricity, we used a short circuit and a range of materials. If the light bulb was lit, we knew that the object was good conductor.
As a results of investigating plastic, glass, wood, metal and rubber, we found that metallic objects best conducted electricity.

This term we will be focusing on learning about the ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks; how they lived and the legacies they left behind.
To start our theme we opened a package sent to us by the Ashmolean Museum, which contained two artefacts (an ancient Egyptian bust and an ancient Greek marble from a temple). We decided to research the marble first in order to ascertain: what it was, where it came from and how it links to ancient Greece. Later, we replicated the ancient Egyptian process of mummification but on an orange! Needless to say, our theme has gotten off to an informative and messy start! We're looking forward to learning more about these two ancient civilisations. |
