Group 5's Science Project

The children in Group 5 looked at Earth and Environmental Science - the study of the Earth and its materials and how we care for the natural world. We explored the key question: “How can we care for our world?”

In this project, we developed the following concepts:

• The weather can change every day
• The sun is powerful
• The sun can affect living and non-living things
• Sunscreen gives protection from the effects of the sun

These concepts were discovered through participation in the following activities:

• Observing, measuring and recording the weather and temperature in a collective weather diary
• Discovering the effects of the sun with an experiment using black paper and sunscreen
• Using different mediums (including recordings, photographing and creating artwork) which documents these experiences and discoverie
