Today the students got to actually conduct the experiments that they devised in pairs to test a hypothesis or question that they had about energy and/or energy transfer.
Here are some photos of the scientists in action. There is also a video to show the level of engagement in the classroom with this learning experience.
Ask your child about their experiment. Find out what their inquiry question was and how they decided what to do to test it. We considered factors such as ensuring that only one variable was changed over the course of the experiment, deciding how to measure the results, measuring accurately and the recording observations. We also had to conduct the experiment at least 3 times to ensure the validity of the outcomes.

Year 6 rose to the occasion and we look forward to sharing our experiments and results next lesson as we learn more about energy and how it works.
