Pattern Seeking
HAWTHORN CLASS -ELECTRICITY BUZZER GAMES In pairs we made a buzzer game. We made an incomplete circuit which is made complete when the rod touches the wire design. Lots of problem solving and perseverance was needed!
HAWTHORN CLASS - Electricity and Design and Technology - does the number of bulbs affect a circuit? Does the number of batteries affect a circuit?
The Big Question
‘Is there a pattern between the size of a planet and the time it takes to travel around the Sun?’
We explored the planet fact cards to look for patterns and relationships.
Gestation Gurus- Pattern Seeking
Beech class played a game to see if we could work out the different gestation periods for different mammals. We learned that gestation is the process by which a mammal grows a baby and is the time between conception and birth. Once we had worked out the correct gestation periods for different mammals, we were challenged to spot any patterns in the results. We realised that there was a link between the size of the animal and how long it carried a baby for before giving birth.
In most cases, the larger the animal the longer period of gestation. Therefore, the smaller the animal, the shorter gestation time.
