We had a fabulous morning on 28th June listening to presentations from some inspiring young scientists from St Andrew's Primary, Poulton Lancelyn Primary and Church Drive Primary. Mrs Newman from St Andrew's had organised a small version of the 'Big Science Event' and two teams from each of the schools gave presentations on their science investigations. |
The investigation questions were as follows:
Y1 St Andrew's: Do plants grow when we water them with our own drinks?
Y3 Poulton Lancelyn: Is a white egg stronger than a brown egg?
Y2 Church Drive: What is the most suitable material to make a model of a Christopher Columbus boat?
Y6 St Andrew's: Do boys prefer blue and girls prefer pink?
Y5 Poulton Lancelyn: Does your age affect how your fingers wrinkle in water?
Y3/4 Church Drive: How do you stop an egg from breaking?

Y3/4 Church Drive: How do you stop an egg from breaking?
It was a very hard job to judge these amazing investigations, especially as these were already the best investigations chosen from their schools. However after careful consideration the judges (Anne Buckley, Kim Harvey and Michael McManus) decided on:
1st Prize (5-8 yrs):Y1 St Andrew's: Do plants grow when we water them with our own drinks?
1st Prize (8-11 yrs):Y5 Poulton Lancelyn: Does your age affect how your fingers wrinkle in water?
Teachers' Choice: Y2 Church Drive: What is the most suitable material to make a model of a Christopher Columbus boat?
Well done to everyone who took part and thank you to Mrs Newman for organising the event.
