Science Week

It is Science Week here at Garrick Green and Year 2 have begun the week by building structures using marshmallows and straws! We talked about famous structures such as the Eiffel Tower and Sydney Harbour Bridge and how maths, engineering and technology are linked with science.

Today we investigated magnets and explored the different materials they were attracted to. The children loved feeling the force of two magnets pushing and pulling!

We have begun to record our learning in our Science Journals and there will be plenty more experiments for us to do this week.

Why not research and plan an experiment to do at home? There are many books and websites you could use to get ideas. Do come and see one of the Year 2 Team if you need some ideas. (You could explore floating and sinking in your bath!) Remember that you are encouraged to record your findings and ideas in your yellow home learning book.

We look forward to hearing all about your scientific experiments!
