Science - Material World

We have been working hard in the Realm of Rodda and recently finished one of our Science Inquiries called Material World. We investigated the properties of different materials, such as fabric, wool, paper, cotton and plastic. We conducted experiments to test the durability,  absorbency, strength and their ability to retain heat (insulate). At the conclusion of our inquiry we designed an outfit with a range of physical properties to suit different scenarios and explained how these properties have influenced their use. 

Tomorrow we will be participating in a very exciting  challenge, to complete the Science Inquiry Package It Better. Stay tuned for some photos of our amazing creations.

Investigating Insulation

 Properties Of Different Materials

 Snap, Tear, Stretch

Leak, Soak, Repel

What are some of the materials you use around the house every day? List some of the properties of each material.

For example:

My house is built with bricks. Bricks are hard, strong and sturdy, this is important so that they can last for a long time and can withstand the weather.

The Awesome Art Show

We were so excited to show you all of our amazing art that we have been working on this year, during the Amazing Art Show on Friday and Saturday. Thank you so much to everyone that came to support Fraser Primary School students and the incredible work that we produce.

What was your favourite group of artworks from the Awesome Art Show and why?

What Makes A Great Set Of Instructions?

We have been investigating what makes a great set of instructions this week in the Realm of Rodda. We have been learning about the importance of verbs when reading and writing instructions, because they tell us what to do.

 

 

 

Above are two examples of Magic Potions. Can you find the verbs? What other verbs have you seen when reading instructions like a recipe?

 

For example: Stir, drain, pour and drizzle.
