Science
Our new topic is FORCES this term. Today we took part in an experiment to see how friction affects the transportation of objects. Firstly we transported jelly with our hands and then chop sticks. We soon relised that it was far easier to move the jelly with our hands due to the larger surface area and more friction provided by our finger tips. Then we introduced olive oil to act as a lubricant. The reduced the friction and made it very difficult to move the jelly.
Today, We learned about the different components that are found in our blood. We furthered out learning by making our own blood smoothies. We used yellow food colouring and water to represent the plasma, cheerios dyed red to represent the red blood cells, mini marshmallows to represent the white blood cells and finally strawberry laces to represent the sticky platelets.
