Throughout this term, we have incorporated science into our daily learning. We explored the Night and Day topic through a practical experiment using a torch, balloons and darkness. This helped the children understand the science behind darkness and light. We discussed the darker evenings during the Autumn and Winter months and compared the time difference in Ireland to countries such as Australia and Africa.
As part of our Mighty Me topic, we discussed the importance of ‘healthy habits’ and what we could do to keep our teeth and minds healthy. We completed a tooth decay experiment over a whole week. We started off our experiment by adding various liquids to eggs. The children talked about predictions and recorded their predictions on the first day. Throughout the week the children observed the change in the eggs and recorded their results. In conclusion, they found that coke, vinegar and orange had the biggest effect on the eggs.
