This week have a go of the sheet below, research the famous scientists related to SOUND. We would love to see your posters on our Year 3 Purple Mash Blog. Happy researching!!

This term in Science we will be looking at Scientists and Investigators. We will explore different scientists and investigators that have contributed to a field that we have learnt about this year. The video below introduces you to some famous scientists but do any of them link to the areas we have covered so far?

• Animals including humans
• Forces and magnets
• Plants
• Rocks and soils
• Light

Be an investigator yourself and write down your findings and links. Good luck.

The short video below will help you understand the importance of sight, how light travels, how shadows are formed and the importance of our other senses in the absence of the sense of sight.

After you have watched this it would be great if you could make your own shadow puppets, considering carefully the material that you use and also experimenting with distance from the light and what effect this has on your puppet.

We would love to see your completed puppets and even puppet shows posted on our Year 3 Purple Mash blog!!! Have fun.

Join Tony live as he narrates movies of his missions into space and talk us through from how the crew made the most of quarantine, to blast-off and completing the mission in space. He will then hold a question and answer session with the audience.

This session is for adults and families. It is for a limited size audience and carries a small charge of £5 which will help them support more webinars.

Tune in daily at 11 am to Maddie and Gregg as they chat about science and nature.
