Spectacular Science

The Autumn Term has seen a remarkable range of Science topics and experiments. Our boys have enjoyed getting stuck into all the different activities and learning about Sound, Electricity, the Solar System and much more.

Our Year 2 boys were thrilled to visit the big boys’ Science labs where Mr Tenison put on quite the show introducing them to Science.

Year 3 started off the term with a pop as they headed out to The Quad to experiment with bubbles. Year 4 completed their topic on electricity, finishing off with a very exciting demonstration with the Van Der Graff generator, which made their hair stand on end!

Year 5 explored the gravitational pull of the Earth. They made paper aeroplanes, differing in size, and measured how quickly they could make it back to Earth.

Year 6 headed over to Willsfield to measure the speed of sound. Year 7 compared the properties of metals and non-metals.

Year 8 studied forces and were tasked with using springs to prove Hooke’s Law.

An excellent term in Science all round!
