New Mathletics tasks have been added for those who have completed their previous quests.

Science Week 9th-13th March

This year's theme is 'Curiosity - what's your question?' and we would like everyone to get involved by investigating a question they would like to know the answer to. Here are some ideas but you can investigate any of your own questions:

• Do right-handed people clean the teeth on the left side better than the right?

• Are bigger snails faster?

• Which leaf is the heaviest? 

• Can 7-year olds run faster than 6-year olds?

• How long does it take for a grape to turn into a raisin?

• Which sense is more effective - taste or smell?

• Which chocolate melts the quickest?

• Which fizzy drink freezes the quickest? 

• What material would make a good parachute for Batman?

• How much water is needed to make the wobbliest jelly?

• Can you make bubbles different colours?

• Which fruits will float?

• Which tennis ball goes further – a wet one or a dry one?

You can choose how you want to present and share your findings, for example photos, drawings, written, typed or even a PowerPoint. Please bring your findings on Monday 9th March and we look forward to hearing what you investigated!
