Year 3M Rocks Workshop

Date: 28th Feb 2024 @ 10:37pm

As part of our Spring 2 Science curriculum on 'Rocks', Year 3VM had a fantastic afternoon taking part in our workshop which involved a bundle of science experiments, recording data methodically, following instructions and learning the names of many rocks.

The children worked their way through a carousel of activities which involved:

1 - Absorbance tests

2 - Fossil hunts

3 - Visual tests

4 - Scratch tests

5 - Acid tests

The children tested the following rocks:

pumice, sandstone, claystone, chalk, slate, limestone, marble, granite and basalt.

Well done Year 3, you have proved to be suitable scientists today!
