Year 7 Science

This Term Year 7s have been studying the Scientific Method and how to think like a scientist. This week they recorded their practical investigations that they will be using for their Task. Some topics included:

• Which sponge absorbs more water?
• How much weight do paper towels hold?
• How does the tip of a paper plane affect the distance it travels?
• How does the drop height affect the bounce of a ball?

They collaboratively worked together as young scientists to produce a method they can use to answer their questions. One group even experienced how real scientists often have to think on their feet to modify their initial method and did an amazing job.
