Year 2 Science Day Slime

Date: 21st Apr 2022 @ 9:27pm

Year 2 participated in the whole School celebration of Science today. We begun the day by drawing a Scientist before exploring the stereotypes within the subject looking at a Research Engineer called Charlotte Grinyer who had to overcome her mental health alongside her gender to get to the position she is in today. Shortly after, we got to virtually meet 3 people who have a career in a Scientific field; we asked lots of questions to try and guess there job and learnt you can use Science in lots of different jobs. 

Then it was our turn to get Scientific as we made our own slime to use in the experiment we had planned to test the stretchiness of the slime. We decided to see how the temperature of slime may effect it's stretchiness so placed one in the sun, one in the classroom, one in the fridge and one in the freezer. In the afternoon, we tested how far each slime would stretch. We had a super day celebrating Science!
