Investigating our differences in Science.

This week in science we have been discussing the ways we are similar and different. We needed to carry out an investigation in order to answer a question for Grace and Ben (our two doll friends who always join us for science!) Grace and Ben wanted to know if our hands are all the same size.


To answer their question we carried out an investigation to see who could pick up the most sweets and wondered whether this might show us that we have different size hands.

Here are some photographs of us carrying out our investigation.

We found that some children could pick up more sweets than others and therefore we decided that some children have bigger hands than others. Jamie was able to pick up the most and he picked up 15! Mrs Shanks wasn't allowed to pick any up because her hands are too big.

We are making a class project book about our investigation and will put our results inside.

Next week we will be thinking about how we have changed from when we were a baby. Please could all children bring in a photograph of when they were a little baby. I'm afraid we won't be able to return these photographs as we will be using them. Thank you.
