Science

 What we say about Science at Minety Primary School...

"You learn interesting things – I really enjoyed seeing how bacteria grew in different conditions." James

"You can explore lots of new things." Romey

"I enjoy doing experiments and testing how things react." Oliver

 "I think science is more important than ever in our world.  It helps to develop children’s higher level thinking  and questioning skills.   I am also passionate about the opportunities that it opens up for children. One of my passions is breaking down gender stereotypes and encouraging all children to understand the careers (and what they entail )  that science can lead to." Mrs Madeley (Subject Leader).

Curriculum Intent

At Minety School, we aim to prepare our children for their future with a “hands –on”, inquiry-based science curriculum that enables them to confidently explore and discover the world around them. We will motivate and actively engage our children, to nurture and grow their curiosity. Core scientific
knowledge and skills is taught through direct teaching, experimentation and exploration. Our intent is for all our children to be life- long learners who are: inquisitive, independent thinkers, confident to ask ‘Big Questions’ and who are well prepared for their future in the ever changing world. We also aim to
give the children an understanding of STEM career paths, and how to follow them. This will enable them to make informed choices as they move through their education.

We are committed to creating a positive, safe and nurturing Christian environment, where all members of the
school community will be respected and valued and SHINE. By SHINE in Science we mean children:

  • Sparkle by having an awareness of how science can change our world for the better.
  • Help – developing scientific ways to help each other and our planet.
  • Imagine how science can help us to create a better future.
  • Nurture our planet – understanding environmental science and the development of new technology and science to support our world.
  • Excel by developing a strong scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding.

Science investigations – States of Matter – Gas

 Class 5 undertook a carousel of investigations to discover more about gases around us; 

 Is this bottle really empty?

How do smells travel?

Why are there holes in sponges?

Is this tin full of marbles?

How can gas be a force?

Class 5 made working 3d models of volcanoes.  Year 4 children used newspaper to construct a cone before using Modroc to cover it.  Year 5 children experimented with modelling wire to produce a more solid structure underneath the Modroc. They ‘exploded’ our volcanoes using vinegar, red food colouring and bicarbonate of soda.

Class 5 have been  looking at sound and understanding how sounds are  made by investigating different musical instruments.

What some of the children say: 

The sound waves bump into each other on the way to your ear. Then they go down the canal and the hairs send messages to the brain.

One of the smallest bones is in your ear – even smaller than the bone in your little toe. The ear is on the inside and outside of your head. Seren ( Year 4)

 The vibrations move the air particles as they travel around the air. Ava ( Year 4)

 When you hear your ear drums shakes. Riley ( Year 4)

 You have three bones in your ear : The Hammer, Anvil and Stirrup. If string is taught the vibrations can travel along it, if it is slack the vibrations don’t travel. The Cochlea looks like a shell. Aimee ( Year 4)

 The bones in the ear are called : The Hammer, The Anvil and the Stirrup  they pick up the sound. Seb (Year 4)

 We have been learning about sound and how it comes into your ears. It oscillates in even waves.  The curves in your ears catch the sound.  Each hair has 17000 hairs.  They pick up the sound and then it goes to the ear drum and it sends a message to the brain. Jenny ( Year 4)

Class 6 have been looking at what cells blood and different cells in blood.  They talked about what the different cells do, red cells carry  oxygen, plasma is the liquid that carries the nutrients and white blood cell help protect us against infection. white blood cells have a memory which help them protect us from infections we have had before and infections we are given vaccines for such as COVID19.

Class 1 are learning about dinosaurs and they have been able to look at a real fossilised dinosaur egg. The dinosaur egg is from a Hadrosaurus and was found in the Henan province of China. The dinosaur lived 74-78 million years ago and was 9 metres in length.

Year 5 children in class 5 dragonflies have been doing a sound investigation on how to change pitch and volume of home-made musical instruments.

What some of the children say: 

We have been thinking if the pitch is high or low and if the volume is loud or quieter. Volume : We changed the volume by playing harder or lighter. Pitch : If you held things then it stops the vibrations. Kieran (year 5)

We looked at the pitch of different shakers.  The shakers that had smaller thing in made a higher pitch.  On the Guino the larger side had more air in it and made a lower pitch sound. Rohan (Year 5)

As part of their science topic looking at the circulatory system, Class 6 got the exciting opportunity to dissect a sheep’s heart. The children had to identify the external features, including the major blood vessels, such as the aorta and vena cava. The children then carefully opened the hearts up and were able to identify each of the four chambers and components inside them. All children took part in the lesson and the experience was a real stand out moment in their science journeys.
