Science - Making predictions and conclusions

 This week in our topic work, we wanted to find out about different clocks. 

We looked at lots of different types of clocks and decided if they were old or new and what they were used for. 

We didn't know what a pocket watch was used for and we found it a bit tricky to decide if they were old or new.

 We then started to find out a bit about water clocks and sand timers. We all made one but the real skill was trying to make a scientific prediction. 

 We had to think carefully and use 'I predict that ...' It was quite hard but then we had to observe the experiment to see if our predictions were right.

In the water clock activity we recorded our results in a table and then had to try and decide which pot took the shortest time and which pot took the longest time. 

We also learnt about candle clocks and what they might have been used for. 

Some great science this week!
