We have enjoyed our Science this week.

 

On Monday we did our last lesson on space.

Mr Edwards got us thinking about why the moon changes shape. We all came up with different ideas but all stared to pick out bits on why then Mr Edwards showed us a video of how the the moon looks different shapes.

As we rotate round the sun the moon rotates round us so we get 8 moon shapes because the suns light shines on the moon making it loominate so you only see half of the moon that’s why we have a new moon, waxing crescent, waxing gibbous, half moon, waning gibbous, last half moon, waning cresent.



Then we started a new topic about micro-organisms which was really fasernating and disturbing to look at. We briefly looked at viruses, fungi and Bactria. On Wednesday we started a experiment where we took 2 pieces of brown and white bread to investigate which grew mould quicker.

Also, Lydia and George put their hand prints on a piece of brown bread, so we check how much bacteria are on our hands. We will check each throughout the weeks and watch the progress.
