The classes went to different sections of the museum in order to research their topics for the week, complete tasks and find out how science can explain the world around us!

Tania's class: Transport

Tania's class looked at different vehicle types, sizes and shapes.

Sue's class and Susanne's class: Space.

Susanne's class went to The Exploring Space section of the museum.

This week they have each chosen a planet in our solar system.
They are researching their own planet, making posters and creating aliens who might live on the planet to tell us all about it.


Sue's class also went to The Exploring Space section of the museum.

They completed a worksheet and then put what they had learnt into practice in the Launchpad area of the museum.

At Launchpad you can make circuits, build bridges, play with magnets, create kinetic energy, and lots more and the students really enjoyed it.

At the end the class watched a demonstration of a Water Rocket which goes up to 50 mph!
The students acted as assistants in the demo and Guga even got to launch the rocket!

The students will be making their very own rockets and launching them on Friday!
