This week we have learnt about the incredible journey of water.....from reservoir, lake or river to a treatment plant and after more treatments it travels all the way to our homes.
Have a look at some of the maps children made:
Some of us checked our water gauges outdoor and we were all very surprised to noticed how much rainfall we have had at the weekend.
'We could measure it with scoops'
'Wow! I've got lts of water in mine!'
'Look at this one!'
'How are we going to empty it?'
We also set ourselves a challenge to see how many drops of water we could fit on a one penny coin. Most of us got to about 20 drops...
'That's how many drops I could fit on my coin'.
It felt like we were walking on air....upside down!
More measuring in Maths as the week continued and we spent time completing independent challenges such as ordering stones from largest to smallest.
We then spent time investigating rolling cars down tubes to see how far they travel. Some of us decided to investigate whether you can make the car travel further by increasing the steepness of the slope and some of us decided to leave the slope and just see which car travelled the greatest distance.
Our equipment...
A great way of recording the distance each car travelled...
Finally ordering the cars, starting with the one that travelled the greatest distance to the one that travelled the smallest distance.
