Science Week

Children participating in their science work

This year, the theme for British Science Week was 'Change and Adapt'. Children across the school took part in an investigation that focused on how water lilies adapt to live in ponds. These beautiful flowers are able to open and close their leaves at different times of the day. We made paper water lilies and investigated how long they took to fully bloom. Each year group tested a different property of the paper flowers with Year 3 investigating paper types, Year 4 investigating the size of the flowers and Year 6 investigating the number of petals on the flower. This investigation really got the children talking and there was such a buzz across the school! Well done Almond Hill for such great science work!
