Testing Materials

2MG have been testing materials as they start looking at the effect of forces on different materials. This week we tested lots of different types of paper to see which could hold the most weight before tearing. We were quite surprised by how strong paper can actually be!

A visit from an Austin 7!

Year 2 were so lucky to see an 84 year old Austin 7 today! We discovered cars that long ago didn’t have seat belts and this one didn’t have a boot! It also had to be started by pulling a lever at the front. Very interesting! We really enjoyed looking around it and were so sensible. IMG_1516[1] IMG_1517[1] IMG_1518[2] IMG_1519[1] IMG_1520[1] IMG_1521[1] IMG_1523[1]

Coventry Transport Museum

Year 2 have had such a fun, interesting day exploring transport at the Transport Museum. We went on a journey back through time to see how people travelled and saw lots of interesting cars! 

Then we explored bicycles through time and even got to try some out. The children were so sensible and the Year 2 teachers are very proud of their super behaviour all day!

Car building

We have loved building our own cars this week! We finished building them today and had lots of fun decorating them with windows, lights, windscreen wipers and even exhausts! We worked so well as a team and are really proud of our finished cars!

Fantastic Friction

It’s not every week you get to do science with a state-of-the-art super car, but this week we tested the Bugatti Veyron. We’ll sort of. Testing different road surfaces we explored how friction can slow a vehicle down and we even had time to push the car to its limits down increasingly steep ramps.

Absorbing Absorbency

Do more expensive kitchen towels soak up more water? That was the question we investigated as Year 2 examined the advertising claims of “Juan Sheet”. We tested five different paper kitchen towels to see which absorbed the most water.

And the best value kitchen towel? You’ll have to ask our young scientists to find out…

Amazing home learning!

We are really enjoying seeing the different modes of transport you have been building at home! So far we have had horse and carts, jet skis, boats, tanks, cars and more! Very imaginative, 2AP.
