Science
In Term 3, we are learning about...
Animals, including humans.
This term we will build on our knowledge of Animals, including humans from Year 2. We will start looking more into the different food groups and look at what nutrients makes up these food groups, we will do this by research and identifying them in our favourite foods, then we will investigate different food packaging and gain an understanding how and why all animals, incluidng humans have different types of diets. We will then explore why we need the right types of nutrients and then look at how these are transported within humans and animals through a demonstration of the importance blood has in this role.
In Term 2, we are learning about...
Rocks
During science this term we will be looking at comparing and grouping together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance
and simple physical properties. We will look at naming different types of rocks and begin to look at how different types of rocks are made. Then we will explore how fossils are forms and recognise that soils are made from rock, organic matter, water and air. Our key skills that we will be using this term are identifying/grouping/classifying information, comparative and fair testing and lastly observations over time. Keep an eye on this page to see updates on our learning!
Today we explored rocks and finding out their features, whilst conducting experiments.
These tests enabled us to find out if our rocks were; Igneous, Sedimentary or Metamorphic as well as being able to identify if they were Permeable or Impermeable.
In Term 1, we are learning about...
Forces
In Science this term we are working as physicists and focusing on forces and magnets.
We will look at key skills of identifying/ grouping/ classifying information and the use of comparative and fair testing.
In Year 3, we will look at comparing how things move on different surfaces, notice how some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act as a distance, observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others, compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet and identify some magnetic materials, describe magnets as having two poles and predicting whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing.
