The  boys in Room 1 have been working very hard during Science Week. We have been conducting interesting experiments and observing the results. We have been learning Science-themed words like ‘hypothesis’, ‘investigate’ and ‘observation’. We mixed lots of different materials and we noticed that sugar dissolves in water. We were keen to investigate this further, so we conducted the sweets experiment! We formed a hypothesis, we thought that the sugar in the sweets would dissolve in water. Look at the amazing patterns formed during our experiment.

We are learning about the moon! We watched clips of the first moon landing and we have been learning about how astronauts survive in space. We discovered that the lunar surface is covered in a fine powder and that lunar craters can be formed when asteroids and meteorites strike the moon. We wanted to investigate how craters are formed. We observed that craters are formed when something crashes into a dusty surface. We really enjoyed dropping the ‘asteroids’ into our ‘lunar surfaces.’
