Thursday 22nd December Year 3 Geologists

Iron meteorite from Chaco, Argentina. One of the ‘Campo del Cielo’ fragments first found in 1576.

This afternoon Year 3 became geologists and investigated rocks from space. For more information about geologists and meteorites, visit our Geologist page.

To use objects from around your home to create your own meteorite impact craters- just like those we can see on the moon, visit our STEM at Home Impact Craters page.

Wednesday 21st December Year 5 Underneath the Ice

Today Year 5 visited Thinklab at Northumbria University and became ice core scientists. They travelled to the Antarctic and discovered what we can find out about the past from air bubbles trapped in the ice. The children used this as inspiration to write their own poetry. To find out more about the Antarctic and to see the completed poems, visit our Underneath the Ice page.

Tuesday 20th December Key Stage 1 Naval Architects

Today, Key Stage 1 became naval architects. They designed, built and tested their own boats.

To discover how to design, build and test a boat with tin foil, visit our STEM at Home tin foil boats page.

Thursday 8th December Year 5 Materials Scientists

This afternoon Year 5 visited Thinklab at Northumbria University to become materials scientist and find out more about the research our academics do here. Year 5 investigated ways water behaves on different surfaces.

For another water investigation that you could try, using only a glass of water, some paper and pens, visit our STEM at Home Looking through water page.
