Science Project
Reception Science Project
Under the Sea
In our science project this week we want you to learn about life under the water, as well as conduct some water themed experiments! This project will involve doing some of your own research and carrying out investigations at home. Each day you will be given a different theme and ideas for investigations. You do not have to complete all of the activities. These are ideas of what you could do to find out more, explain what you know or to just have fun exploring science!
You can present your work however you want - the more creative the better! You can take photographs, videos, produce artwork, write poetry, draw graphs, make a book (to name just a few). We would love to see your hard work so please send us an email on the class accounts RB@ashdeneschool.net or RHS@ashdeneschool.net or post on the school twitter account.
Key Learning Themes
This project will focus on:
- Animals that live on the coast and those that live in the sea
- How these animals adapt to their environment in order to survive
- The importance of recycling to help protect our seas and look after the animals that live there
- Investigating the difference between salt water (from the sea) and fresh water (in lakes and rivers)
- Investigating how some animals (like fish) are able to breath underwater
