Fantastic Science

On Tuesday girls in the Prep Department had a visit from the Science Museum in London.  All girls from Year 3 to Year 6 were involved in different workshops all about science.

Year 3 and 4 were introduced to different types of materials and how they change and transform.  They also got to create their very own slime, a material which looks like a liquid but when handled turns into a solid.

Girls in Year 5 went on a mission to Mars, where they discovered the science behind launching rockets into space. They also found out about different satellites, how they are launched and their orbits around planets.  The girls then made their own rockets and tried to launch them into the orbit of Mars.

Finally Year 6 had a presentation about blood and guts.  They followed the journey of blood through the body and discovered what it does, what’s in it, where blood goes and what happens when you start to lose blood.

Head of Prep, Mr Leith, “All Prep girls had a fantastic time learning more about science and building on what they have been learning in class.  Having the Science Museum come into School has made Science come alive and is very beneficial for our girls.”
