Inspired by Brunel, we created bridges with a partner in gymnastics.
This week in science we carried out an investigation into the effect of sugar on yeast ( a micro-organism that we learnt about last week). First, we decided which variable to change and then considered what we needed to do to make it a fair test. Look at what happened!
Barn Owls are classification experts! Have a look at these fantastic non-chronological reports they have written.
After classifying animals and plants, we learnt about micro-organisms. We learnt about their main characteristics and with a few scientific clues, we were able to classify helpful micro-organisms.
