Year 2
Science in Year 2
2023 - 2024
In Science, we have learnt that we can separate mixtures using a sieve, a magnet or our hands. ����✋ Year 2 carried out an investigation to see which method works best with different mixtures. We found out that we can use a magnet or our hands to separate wooden sticks and paperclips but using a magnet was much quicker! Fantastic work Year 2!
Today in Science, Year 2 carried out an investigation to find out which materials were absorbent and which were waterproof. ���� We discovered that the cotton wool was the most absorbent as it soaked up all the water. ��
2022 - 2023
In Science, Year 2 learnt about Rachel Carson, a scientist who studied the ocean. She found out that pesticides from the farms were being washed into the oceans and harming the animals. We carried out an experiment to show how this happens.
In our Science lesson this week, children enjoyed sitting in the school garden in the sunshine to sketch some of the plants and trees.
In Science, Year 2 are conducting an experiment to find out whether cress grows best in warm or cold conditions. Children made their own cress bags and we will be observing over the next few days to see what happens.
Year 2 have been learning about micro habitats in Science. This afternoon we create some of our own micro habitats for the insects in our school grounds to live in. ������
In Science year 2 investigated how we can separate different mixtures using a magnet, a sieve or our hands.
