Special Science Musuem Homework- Due Monday

 

Next week we are going to the Science Museum. Later this week you will get a letter explaining all about your visit. At the museum, we are going to see many amazing science inventions.

Your homework this week is to answer these questions below as these exhibits will be at the museum for us to view.

You might even want to find pictures of these so you can spot them at the museum. You can also answer these questions on the blog comment section if you wish.

Space Questions

  1. What is the ‘Eagle’ and why is it important?(hint– the lander that took astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin to the Moon in 1969)
  2. What is the British Black Arrow and why is it important?
  3. What is the United States Scout and why is it important?
  4. What is the Huygens module and why is it important? (hint – Visited Titan in 2005) (http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Cassini-Huygens/The_mission)
  5. What is the Beagle 2 Mars Lander and why is it important?

Flight Questions –

  1. What is the Antoinette monoplane and why is it important?
  2. What is Amy Johnson’s Gipsy Moth and why is it important?
  3. What is the Vickers Vimy, which first crossed the Atlantic in 1919 and why is it important?
  4. What is the Supermarine S6B racing seaplane and why is it important?
  5. What is the Hawker P1127 – which led to the Harrier jump-jet fighter and why is it important?
  6. What is the Boeing 747 jumbo jet and why is it important?

Making the modern world

  1. What is the Apollo 10 command module and why is it important?
  2. What is the Stephenson’s Rocket, and why is it important?
  3. What is the Babbage’s Difference Engine No. 1 and why is it important?
  4. What is the Crick and Watson’s DNA model and why is it important?
  5. What is penicillin and why is it important? ( from Fleming’s laboratory)

Extension – We are also going to watch an IMAX presentation called ‘A Beautiful Planet’. This film is a breath-taking portrait of the planet captured from the International Space Station. Can you find out how the film appears to three dimensional when you put on your 3d glasses? (Go to http://www.physics.org/article-questions.asp?id=56 if you need help)

Aldenham Science Competition

Last week, three students from year six went to the Aldenham Practical Science competition. They had 4 important tasks to do during the day. The first task included chemical analysis with volumetric titration. In Biology they correctly dissected a flower labelling all the male and female parts and in Physics they made a parachute to learn about the forces that affect falling objects. Unfortunately, our egg cracked because our parachute was not big enough, however it was a very fun experiment to try. Finally, we had a science quiz and the team did well to name many famous scientists. Hopefully this competition will run again next year with more unknown science practical tasks to try.

Well done to the year 6 team for representing the school in a very focused manner and for Aldenham school for organising such a fantastic event.

Natural History Museum Trip

In Science, our year 3’s went the Natural History Museum. The children were very excited to see the dinosaur fossils, rocks and gems and having a go on the Earthquake simulator. We also got to see an amazing ‘Volcano and Earthquake’ show where our young scientists became very helpful geologists, learning how to spot potential threats from Earthquakes and Volcanoe
