Ragleth Class Science – variation and adaptation

As part of our Science unit “Evolution and Inheritance”, Ragleth Class have been learning about the ways in which animals adapt to their environment through inheritance of DNA from parents. The offspring that have inherited favourable traits from their parents are more likely to survive when the environment changes. The examples we used to understand this concept were penguins.

Bright sparks in Ragleth Class

This week Ragleth Class have been learning about how different components function in a circuit. They built several circuits and used different switches to identify which switch would be the easiest or hardest to use when trying to beak a circuit. They used slide switches, paddle switches and push button switches to test our their predictions. Their results showed that a push button switch broke the circuit the easiest and suggested this should be used in devices such as torches, car ignitions and emergency alarms.

Ragleth Class friction investigation

This afternoon, Ragleth Class conducted a friction investigation as part of their Science work. They used a newton meter to measure the amount of force needed to move a shoe across four different surfaces. Their results “shoed” that rougher surfaces, such as carpet and grass produced more friction than smoother surfaces like a table.

Ragleth Class Geography case study

Today, Ragleth Class have been identifying and labelling the features of the River Severn. We studied the course of the river and plotted key landmarks and locations onto the map. We found that in the upper course the land is of a steep gradient and in the lower course, the land is much flatter. The river transforms from a small stream (in the Plynlimon Hills) into a 13km wide channel in the Bristol Channel.

Tomorrow we are going to use OS maps to study the gradient of the land in more detail.

Science investigation in Ragleth Class

During Science this week, Ragleth Class investigated how the surface area of an object affects the rate at which it falls. We learnt about the pull and gravity and push of air resistance, using real-life contexts such as parachutes to help us understand. We timed how long it would take three pieces of paper to fall to the floor, changing the surface area each time. We concluded that the mass of an object does not affect how fast it falls.
