Last week, as part of our work for #BritishScienceWeek, Nursery looked at the effects of soaking paper towels in water. They loved watching their rainbows grow as the water travelled to the middle! 🌈

Year 3 wrapped up #BritishScienceWeek with another exciting investigation to explore forces! We predicted which material would be best for a parachute before making prototypes from foam, net, paper, foil and denim. We then tested them outside and were suprised by some results. #ScienceatWelbeck

Our Y6 engineers set about designing a boat that could bear weights. Each team designed boats factoring in surface area, water-proof materials, forces and reinforcement. The winning team’s boat could support 600g! Well done Jade, Aishah and Ruqayyah! #ScienceatWelbeck #BritishScienceWeek

To celebrate #BritishScienceWeek, Year 3 were challenged to work as marine engineers, making floating rafts out of paper. We ensured we conducted a fair test to investigate what shape and size of boat works best to carry the most marbles without sinking. #ScienceatWelbeck #OutdoorLearningatWelbeck
