Group 3's Science Project

The Group 3 Project focused on Physical Science - the study of materials and energy in the non-living world.  We explores the key question: “How does it move and change?” 

In this project, the children in Group 3 explored the following concepts:

• The nature of materials
• Physical and chemical changes
• Force and movement of objects

 

These concepts were discovered through participation in the following activities:

• Observing the effects of cola on eggs, understanding how that applies to us

• Mixing different substances and observing the results – coloured ice cubes, bicarb of soda and vinegar, shaving cream and cornflour
• Playing with materials which encourage the exploration and discovery of magnets, measuring weight, and testing speed
• Use different mediums (including recordings, photographing and creating artwork) which document these experiences and discoveries
