Science Outreach with Colyton Grammar School
In the Autumn term, Year 5 were visited by a physics teacher and students from Colyton Grammar School. In this session they learnt about friction, took part in experiments and made their own hover crafts.
Groups were given the task to create their own experiments and write them up including an aim, hypothesis, method, results, conclusion and evaluation.
In the Summer term, the teacher and students returned and spoke to each group about the experiments they had done and what they had learnt from doing them. 3 groups were chosen and invited back to Colyton Grammar School in July to take part in a science fair along with children from other schools. The groups were chosen for having an enthusiasm for science and an ability to explain and describe their experiments.
A huge well done to all the children in year 5 for taking part and a big thank you to the staff and students from Colton Grammar School for working with the children. They enjoyed taking part in the different practical activities.
