Science Week Continues

This morning we investigated how birds' beaks are adapted to the type of food they eat. We tried to pick up jelly beans with cocktail sticks, lolly sticks and plastic cups. We determined which of these 'beaks' was best adapted to 'eat' this type of food. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn about the work of the great Charles Darwin and the observations he made on the Galapagos Islands.

This afternoon eight children presented all the work we have covered this week. We took down the models of our adapted creatures, showed everyone the photos of our work with coca-cola and talked about our density experiments. It was very good fun to hear just what Year 3 and Year 4 had been investigating. Year 3 showed us what happens when you add fruit to fizzy drinks and Year 4 shared some fabulous work about forces.

We are all budding scientists in Key Stage 2!
