Science day in Elm Class

By Elm Class, in Year 2 - Friday, 14 June 2024

We have been so lucky to hear from alot of people who work within science throughout the day. Our exciting morning started with Mrs Dale who spoke to us about the company she works for within Engineering and found out that engineers have built or taken part in the building, of lots of things around us. 

We met Ethan, who works as a wastewater modeller and he spoke to us all about climate change and how he investigates urban dainage to prevent flooding. 

We then completed an experiment, investigating the right environments for seeds to grow and learned all about a Botanist called Emma Williams.

In the afternoon we had an assembly with Dr Chennell and Mr Rigby from Nikon who talked to us about how they use microscopes in their job to research medicines. We even got to have a look through the microscopes!
