The Grade 3s have been testing and measuring the strength of magnets in Science. They had to think of a way of making the tests fair by looking at the variables closely. They decided which variables they needed to change, and which variables needed to be kept the same? They did some individual and group recording of their experiments. Click here to have a go at an interactive online magnet experiment.
In Numeracy they have been looking at capacity. To practise their measuring skills they estimated what each container would hold, then they used the measuring equipment to help them to read millilitres and litres as accurately as possible. They did really well and it was lots of fun to explore this topic through practically exploration.
