Defining Gravity
In year 5 we are learning about the different forces which act on objects. Today we looked at gravity and how it pulls all objects towards the centre of the planet. The children were set a challenge to investigate if this force acted equally on all objects. They were given a selection of objects and they had to predict which would fall the quickest. They were very surprised to discover that all objects landed at the same time.

Year 5 - Being Scientists
In Science we have been investigating materials and how we can mix and separate different materials through sieving, filtering, evaporation and using magnets. The children were asked to decide which method of separation would be the best for varying combinations of liquids and solids. They had lots of fun trying the different methods.
