Our inquiry topic was called 'Physical Phenomena' and it was certainly an engaging, hands-on topic to spark our learners into greatness!
We began by looking at forces and energy, how they work in the real world, we then moved on to electricity, playing with our new kits to work out how a circuit works and how to add extra things like buzzers and switches. We learnt how to draw symbols for circuits, played with torches, and investigated light using light boxes. Finally we moved onto our own personal Science inquiry based around the Physical World, we had a template to follow which showed us the important parts to include in our project such as Hypothesis, Method, Research, Results, Conclusion and how it connects to the real world.
We held our school Science Expo in the last week of school, it was a huge success allowing the students to share their new learning with peers, whanau and community members.
