Good Morning Year 4 and Parents,
Welcome to Tuesday and today's suggested resources below.
We are nearly at the end of the King of Fishes and will be moving on shortly. In our curriculum we will now be looking at the digestive system.
Science Experiment:
It is easy to complete your own science experiment about tooth decay and its a good reminder to reduce your intake of sugary substances.
Take 4 cups, 4 eggs, 4 liquids
In the first cup; fill with a fizzy drink, place an egg inside.
In the second; cup fill with water, place an egg inside.
In the third cup; fill with milk, place an egg inside.
In the fourth cup; fill with orange juice (any juice), place an egg inside.
Leave the cups for 5 days in cool, dry place and wait to see which egg shell will erode the quickest. Check the cups each day to see progress. You might want to predict a liquid first. At the end, lift the eggs out and look at the shells. You will be surprised. Which one eroded the most?
You can email any photos to the office.
