Science at ETPS

Read Now
 
Science
It has been great to see children enthusiastically exploring their new science topics so far this term:
  • Year 1 have begun to learn about everyday materials and where they come from. They looked at natural and manmade materials and had fun exploring the different materials around them, saying whether they are manmade or not.
 
  • Year 2 have been learning about what a micro habitat is - they went on the search for micro-habitats around the school and observed the types of animals that live there.

  • Year 3 have begun to explore the topic of rocks, alongside their history topic of The Stone Age. In science lessons they have learned about the difference between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and will soon be learning about how fossils develop. They have had great fun examining real rocks for this topic.
 
  • In Year 4 the children have been learning about the classification of animals.  They started by investigating various ways they can group animals and what the similarities and differences are between the groups - for example: mammals, reptiles, amphibians or birds.  They then considered various habitats and how they are beneficial to their respective animals.
 
  • In Year Five this term the children have been exploring materials and substances. They have been explaining the meaning of properties of materials and categorising them by their properties. Children have also been experimenting with which materials are thermal and electrical conductors and insulators.
 
  • Finally, this term Year 6 have started to investigate the topic of electricity. The children have thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with the equipment: creating series and parallel circuits; analysing why some circuits may not work; and discovering the affect voltage has on the brightness of a light bulb.
