As one of our Key Assessment Tasks- children have been given the opportunity to plan, organise and demonstrate a simple science experiment with the focus being on water.
Children have had the opportunity to research different experiments that they want to carry out and have recorded their hypothesis (question), materials needed and how they will carry out their experiment on a google doc which they can access from home via their google drive.
Children have the opportunity to carry these out at home or in school. If they are choosing to do it at school, they will have detailed what materials they will need to bring in. We will record these and upload them to our profiles. If doing at home, they need to be recorded and upload the experiment onto their profile. They can be recorded on a phone/chromebook/iPad and then saved to google drive. If you have the app (Google drive) they can log into that and save it automatically. Then they can go to their profile and upload it onto their profile.
These are to be done over the course of the next week- We will be looking to do the experiments again as a bit of fun next week after they have already been completed. I have said to children that they shouldn’t be going out to buying things and should be using things that are at home. I have also said it should be safe to do without adults but that adults will be around to supervise.
Any questions that you may have with it, the children can ask tomorrow. I have said that they should be talking over it with you tonight to see if there are any problems.
