Science

This week in Science:

Year 5/6 students constructed and calibrated a simple force meter; a device used to measure force. They made a spring based force metre using an elastic band for the spring component. They also discovered that force is measured in Newtons (N), in recognition of Isaac Newton. 

Year 3/4 students had fun making a simple machine, a pulley, which was used to lift a cup of marbles and weights. 

Year 2 students participated in a science lesson where they observed and drew leaves. They also measured the leaves and constructed a graph to represent the different lengths observed.
