Science is all around us - every day and everywhere.

Here are some of our Science selfies showing how Science is part of our daily lives!

We found out that switching on the torch makes the electricity in the batteries activate the bulb.  The light leaves the bulb at 186,000 miles per second so very soon it hits the wall and even sooner hits the back of his head and hand which block the light and creates the shadows on the wall!

We tested Newton’s law of gravity in the park hanging from a piece of play equipment!

We demonstrated that light only travels in straight lines.  You can see it clearly here in the rays from a light at Kew Gardens.

We mixed coloured liquids to see how the colours changed into different ones when combined together.  We also added absorbent crystals to see how they grew.

We demonstrated that when hot air hits colder air, the temperature of the hot air falls and water droplets form.  We did this by seeing our warm breath steam in the back of a cold car

We used pushing and pulling forces to get moving on roller skates.

We used a combination of Maths and Science to make flapjacks including the gas fuelled Aga to bake it, scales to measure the ingredients, the chemical reactions during the baking process and all the farming and manufacturing to make the ingredients.

We used chemistry skills in a rainbow lab.
