Science investigation
In our science lessons today we carried out a scientific investigation. Using an idea from our ‘Switched on Science’ scheme of work we used ‘sweetie rocks’ to learn about the properties of rocks. We sorted them using criteria such as chalky, soft, hard, layered and stretchy. We discussed how we had sorted our sweets and why. We then moved on to a second science lesson when we sorted real rocks. The children loved these very practical lessons!
