Throughout the Year, children will develop their Working Scientifically Skills. This includes:
- observing over time, asking pertinent questions about similarities and differences
- asking questions surrounding patterns found in data as to why something observed has happened
- classifying, grouping and presenting data in a series of ways to help in answering questions
- taking measurements, using a range of scientific equipment, with increasing accuracy and precision
- using secondary sources to help interpret results seen
In Autumn 1, children have been learning about Forces. This includes:
- explaining how gravity acts between the Earth and objects
- investigating air resistance, water resistance and friction
- investigating how mechanisms like levers, pulleys and gears can allow smaller forces to have greater effects
- learning about mechanical engineer Rafsan Chowdhury
