Science and Technolgy Project Yr 5 and Yr 6

Science Yr 5The year 5 and year 6 students have been busy during the past science lessons. The students were given a task to build  a crane which could raise and lower a load. The load had to be raised or lowered by 50 cm.

Science Yr 6

The students were not allowed to use metal objects (except for the hook of the crane). They were allowed to use cardboard boxes. Students were divided into groups and had to design their own crane, build it, make a suitable base to keep the crane steady (e.g. by using stones, wood, etc.) and they had to test out their crane.

The students enjoyed doing their projects while enhancing team building skills. Well done to all 🙂

Science and Technology project Year 4

Ms Charmaine Mifsud, our Science teacher, together with the year 4 class teachers Ms Kylie, Ms Angelique and the students embarked on science and technology projects.

ScienceStudents were asked to create their own shopping bags. Students were allowed to make use of recycled material, cereal boxes, cardboard, wrapping paper, string, ribbon, etc. However, it was up to the students to design their shopping bag, and to decide what material to be used, bearing in mind that this shopping bag had to be strong enough to carry a 500ml water bottle.

Students had to think of ways of how to make their bag stronger and how to ensure that the handles could support the weight. Students were divided in groups of 3 or 4 students. Once their project was ready, every group made a short presentation to their classmates to explain how their bag was designed, what material was used and the theme chosen e.g. Easter bag, Thank You bag, Mother’s Day bag etc.

Below is a short photo story capturing the students at work and the bags produced. Well done to all 🙂

The students were given time to roll out the dough, cut their biscuits using different shaped cutters and to decorate their biscuits with chocolate. This cookery lesson served to teach the students a number of fine motor skills, food handling skills and socialising skills while enjoying themselves.
