Because we've had to work on our speeches for the competition and also
complete the Production - and learn lines, we have run out of time a little if we
wanted to get our entries in to this year's Science Fair. We know that we could do it, but
we'd only have time to do one-off short experiments. This would not allow
depth of learning in science and would not increase our knowledge of
the Scientific Method so...
What We're Up To Now
We are going to spend the next 6 weeks learning about science and
exploring a wider range of experiments to find out what we want to investigate
in depth. We will hold a Science Fair and it will be the Room 8 Science Fair.
Our tentative date will be in Week 9 and we will open up the room for the afternoon
and part of the evening for parents and family members to come along and see what
we've been learning - and also for them to participate in some experiments that the
children will set up.
By working and learning this way, we will develop our science knowledge to a greater depth
which will also help us prepare well for science in Year 7. We will also be incorporating
our reading, writing and maths by reading great examples of well-written reports,
writing our own and also using our knowledge of measurement and statistics to complete
the write-up and presentation of our reports.
