Week 5
The children were very excited to research catapults and design one of their own in preparation for an investigation next week.
Week 4
Did you know that yeast prefers sugar?
Class 4 proved it : yeast and sugar had the biggest reaction, the mass of the bag decreased and the most gas was produced.
The Vikings used yeast and other microbes in their food making.
Week 3
In science we investigated:
Can we make butter from cream like the Vikings did?
Yes we can. See the process and the tasting session afterwards!
