The K1.1. students of Ms Joanne performing science experiments to explore how bubbles are formed. Students also learnt that we are surrounded by air which is vital for all living things.

Using our taste buds
During a Science lesson the yr 3.1 students of Ms Sharon were talking about the 5 senses. In the above photo students were focused on the sense of taste. They learnt about taste buds found on the tongue which help us taste things we eat, depending on whether they are sweet or sour. The children tasted different food with their eyes closed and relied solely on their sense of taste to guess what the food was – (carrot, broccoli, lemon, popcorn, cereal, chocolate and biscuit). All students guessed what their food was and really enjoyed the activity!
Students at work…
The Yr 2.2 students of Ms Stephanie have been busy working on various aspects. In the photos students can be seen working with numbers by ordering using a number line, making a plant collage to learn about the different parts of a plant, working in groups to learn new vocabulary and doing Show & Tell about their family or their favorite animal.
Growing a plant
The year 4.1 students of Ms. Angelique have planted a bean and recorded its growth for 6 weeks. The children took care of their own bean, watered it and measured its length every week.
Air and Gravity experiment
The children were asked to come up with an experiment related to air resistance, where the aim of the activity was to observe whether an object would fall immediately or take time to fall. The reason behind this is that the force of gravity acts an extra force that maintains the fall.

Science Special Assembly
The year 6.1 students of Mr Cassar prepared an interesting special assembly about the lunar faces and what makes the moon shine. The students had previously done an experiment in class to understand better why the moon is not always seen as a full moon.
Little Scientists at work…
The Year 1.2 students of Ms Louise having a go at yet another experiment in front of their school mates during a special assembly. During this experiment students demonstrated a very efficient way of cleaning coins!
Volcano in a cup…
The Year 4.2 students of Ms Claudine creating a volcano in a cup by making use of coloured water, salt and oil. Such experiments instill a curiosity in the students and make them think and ask why things react the way they do.
Making music with water…
The year 1.2 students of Ms Louise Cutajar, had a very interesting science lesson. First the children had time to explore different ways how to make sound using a pencil and an empty plastic cup. Then they filled a few of the cups with different amounts of water in each. They tapped the cups with a pencil and observed the sound. Each of the cups had a different tone. The children enjoyed creating different tunes to create their own music.
Science Special Assembly…
The Year 2.1 with the help of their class teacher, Ms Janice Vella Muscat, prepared a special assembly. This is a series of special assemblies dedicated to science whereby students perform experiments for the schoolmates. The aim of such assemblies is to instill a sense of curiosity and discovery in our young students.
