Year 7 Science at a glance

The Year 7s have finished learning about Organisms. 7OM and 7AM made skeletons, this included learning about the names of the bones which make up the skeleton. This work is now on display.

Currently the Year 7s are studying Electromagnets and some Year 7 classes have been investigating Series and Parallel circuits within lessons.

STEM – Last week of the 6 week session– children had a lot of fun learning about various topics within STEM. All the pupils will be awarded with a STEM certificate from ‘The All about STEM’ organisation.

• Rocket balloons – investigating Physics using Newton’s Third Law
• Constructing avalanches from rice, quinoa etc. – investigating mathematical problems
• Make your own robot – investigating DT using everyday materials
• Take a deep breath – investigating lung capacity by making a spirometer
• Soapy stress – Investigating engineering through the properties of earth’s materials.
