Primary 3 enjoy exploring science in our STEM Hub!

During this term the boys are girls of primary 3 will be conducting weekly science experiments in our STEM hub then linking this to their Big Writing lessons in order to develop their functional writing skills, with a particular emphasis on scientific report writing.  The children explored what would happen when raisins were dropped into water compared with lemonade.  The children came up with a question relating to what they wanted to find out, made interesting predictions about what they thought would happen then following the experiment they wrote up the procedure, results and a conclusion. The children thoroughly enjoyed being scientists for the morning, and as you can see, followed all the safety rules by wearing their lab coats and safety goggles!
