I am so pleased that the times of having lots of hands on science learning followed by dreary experiment 'write-ups' have disappeared to be replaced by awesome apps on our iPads. The fun science learning is still there, the 'write-up' has been replaced! Apps like 'Explain Everything' allow the students to share what they have done and explain the science involved in a way that engages them and reinforces the learning they have experienced. Not to mention they can share their learning with anyone they choose via their class blog.
Room 10 carried out an investigation into how to create their own Lava Lamps and discovered some fascinating science concepts while they did it. In R11 I got to watch a couple of groups Friction explanations. I was confused until their explanations set me straight!
Below I have embedded Sophie, Hunter, Cameron and Aidan's (R10) Lava Lamp explanation and included a link to the other R10 explanations.
