Science Experiment: Magnetic or Non-Magnetic
Last week the year 3.2 students were learning about magnetic and non magnetic materials during the Science lesson with their class teacher Ms Sharon Calleja.
The children watched a video about magnetism and later they discussed the topic of magnetism with their teacher. They also carried out an experiment to determine whether certain materials are magnetic or not.
In groups, the children were given a magnet and a set of different materials, namely a plastic spoon, a 2c coin, a piece of foil, a pair of metal scissors, a metal nail and a key. First, the children had to guess if each object would be attracted to the magnet or not. Then, they had to test each object and match their prediction with what actually happened during the experiment. Finally, they recorded their results in a table, thus integrating Mathematics with our Science lesson.

Science – Tasting Activity
After learning about the five senses, the year 3.2 students participated in different activities in order to use all of their five senses. The activities included observing a picture in order to find hidden objects in it, paying attention to different sounds they heard and stating what they were, touching objects they use in class every day, comparing and contrasting things having different smells and determining which smells are harmful to us. Finally, they had a tasting activity. The students could not see what they were tasting. They could only determine what it was by using their sense of taste and thinking about whether what they tasted was sweet or sour, whether it felt soft or crunchy whilst eating it and obviously by what it tasted like. The students tasted things like bell peppers, pretzels, lemons, chocolate, popcorn, biscuits and so on. It was truly an activity that appealed to all our five senses!

Scientists at work…
The year 6.1 students of Ms Raisa were asked to work together in groups to do some research about science experiments. The research was done online. After choosing various experiments, each group had to demonstrate the experiment in class. 
Yr 2 students visit Esplora Science Centre
The Yr 2.1 students of Ms Janice visited the Esplora Science Centre. During their visit the students participated in an interesting Chemistry workshop during which they experimented with colours. The students had time to explore the centre and learn more about various scientific facts.
Learning by doing…
The Yr 2.2 students of Ms Stephanie are always very busy. Their lessons involve many hands-on activities which allow the students time to learn, think and relearn. In the above photos students had to build cubes using lollipop sticks. They also had a go a investigating counting in tens and how to make a cloud in a jar. Below students were given tasks to sort numbers in order, to learn about odd and even, plurals and story sums.
Malta’s Science Centre
The Kinder 1.3 students of Ms Camille, together with their LSA, Ms Roseanne, had a great time at the Esplora Science Centre. While visiting this centre, the students had workshops to learn about science. Together they build their own make believe boat and then “sailed” off to their wonder land.
Educational Outing for Kinder at Esplora Science Centre
The Kinder 1 students of Ms Joanne spent a wonderful morning exploring the wonders of science at Esplora. This science centre povides a number of activities which sets the mind these young students to ask questions why things happen they way they do.
Science: Exploring our Skeleton
During a Science lesson, the yr 1.2 students of Ms Marilyn talked about the different parts of the body. Students became aware of our skeleton and how important it is to help us stand upright. In groups, they constructed a skeleton puzzle.
