Science

Welcome to our Science Page
The principal focus of science teaching is to enable pupils to experience and observe phenomena, looking more closely at the natural and humanly-constructed world around them. (National Curriculum 2014)

Every term we use our scientific skills to learn about another area of science. Take a look at your class Topic letter to find out what areas of science you are learning about at the moment.

Look whats been happening in school

Egg citing!

Nature is a wonderful thing!

National Science week starts today (8.3.2019) and runs all of next week. Look out for things that are happening in school this we linked to science and support your child's science understanding.

-Eggs arrive in Metis and Pandora

-A visit to Bath University for Callisto and Hydra

- Science Fair

and plenty of practical science in class

Term 3: Science club has started

Keep visiting to find out about all the fun science experiments and activities we have been carrying out.

Week 2 - Gravity and Air pressure!

Air has a weight, although it does not weigh much. In our experiment Air pressure on the card is keeping the water in the glass. This water is trapped in the glass by the cardboard. Air pressure is pushing down,around and up underneath the cardboard, holding it in place, keeping the water inside the glass.

Week one - Reflections

Bath University Science Trip for Callisto and Hydra

Term 3

Year 5 and 6 are departing early to visit - The Curious - Forensic Science Workshop. To find out more ask children in Callisto and Oberon and look out for pictures after Tuesday 8th January 2019

Did you know that September 13th 2018 is International Chocolate day? Science is involved in the creation of chocolate. Can you find out about how chocolate is made and let me know?

National Science Week

12th - 16th March 2018

15/3/2018 - Science Day and Fair

Congratulations to Grace, Taleah, Hayley, Anniemay and Henrietta for being great ambassadors when sharing their learning at John of Gaunt today. It was a packed day of learning. First they we engineers creating bridges from just paper, nuts, bolts and tape. Then we explored a science lab and used a bunsen burner to burn different metals. Finally we set up our science learning about investigating slime and talked and talked and talked.

Here are some of the comments from adults, parents and pupils from John of Gaunt.

"A fabulous investigation - great fun. Well done"

"Really good practical that was very well explained by the students"

"It was very fun to do!"

SCIENCE learning can be fun fun fun!

13.3.2018 Thank you to all those children and parents that came to this Science linked Reading workshop we had great fun making slime just like Mortimer Keene in Attack of the Slime by Tim Healey and Chris Mould. If you would like to finish parts four and five the book will be in the library next week.

Science Fayre 16th March

at John of Gaunt school

I would Like to say a very well done and what great ambassadors of Studley Green School the six Year Five pupils were when we took part in the Trowbridge Science Fayre.

Our exhibit linked to science in the work place was: Manufacturers of a company like Lush or Body Shop and the science behind Bath bombs.

Here are just a few of the wonderful comments we had from Year 7 and 8 students /parents and teachers:

<Brilliant exhibit! and you get to take a bath bomb home amazing.

<Impressive <great idea

<I wish we could do more <awesome!

<amazing idea <this was cool

<good explaining <I wish we could do more

Science week has arrived!

Studley Green pupils are all being Scientist this week and the weather is really helping. Science is all about exploring and finding out about the world around us and this year we are focusing on the school grounds and things that effect us daily. Here are just a few photos of what has been happening in class and the marvelous environment that we have. More to come over the coming days!
