Thank you for all the learning you are doing at home.

The Early Years Team

Family Science Activity – Friday 24^th April – STATIC MAGIC

The activity: Make objects move without touching them by charging them with static electricity. ExpeRiment: with different objects to see how static electricity affects them. Learn about charged particles like electrons and how things gain or lose charge.

https://www.rigb.org/families/experimental/static-magic – for a video clip about the experiment and a full version of the activity information sheet.

What you will need:

• A balloon • A cotton towel or T-shirt or a woolly jumper • Some scrap paper • A paper/plastic drinking straw (optional) • An empty 500ml plastic drinks bottle (optional) • A hard plastic comb or ruler (optional) • Other household objects to test.

What to do:

• Charge up a balloon and try picking up scraps of paper with it.
• Investigate whether the amount you rub the balloon affects how much paper it can pick up.
• Investigate whether the size of the scraps of paper makes a difference.
•  Find out how close you have to be to the paper before the balloon makes it move.
• Try bending a stream of water like Hector does in the video.
• Try balancing a straw on top of a bottle lid and seeing if you can make it spin like in the video.
• Find out which objects are attracted to the charged up balloon and which are repelled by it.
•  Try holding a charged balloon near your hair or your skin.

Going Further:

Try rolling an empty soft drink can along the ground using a charged up balloon http://bit.ly/StaticCanRoll

Try lighting up a fluorescent lightbulb with a charged up balloon – as described here: http://bit.ly/LightBulbBalloon

Try tying two balloons to strings and seeing if you can charge them up with static electricity then hang them up so they repel each other.

Tortoises

Close your eyes and listen to:

Can you move around to the music? Is it slow or fast?

Now move around to:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Diu2N8TGKA

Is this slow or fast?

What else did you notice?

Did you spot that they are the same tune? Saint-Saens slowed down Offenbach’s famous Can- Can music and used it to represent tortoises.

We can’t wait to see more videos on Tapestry 🙂

Hello,

Are you wondering what the teachers have been up to?

Mrs Conlon and Miss Deacon have been spending some time reading at home in the sunshine. We have been chatting to each other on the phone about what we have read and what books we recommend to get into next!

Miss Deacon has also been spending time with her younger sister and helping her with some home learning. Miss Deacon was put to the test with solving some tricky maths problems! With lots of thinking and determination she worked with her sister to complete them. Miss Deacon has also enjoyed getting some exercise by going on walks with her family around her local area.

Mrs Conlon has also been enjoying baking with home grown rhubarb which her neighbor kindly left on her doorstep from her allotment. She has also been out on bike rides around her local area to collect some groceries from the shops. Mrs Conlon has been taking part in some of Joe Wicks’ workouts to keep fit whilst the gym is closed!

Mrs Aquilina has enjoyed going for long walks with her children. She had a trip to Porchester castle to support their home learning. They all learnt some history and geography whilst they were there.

Mrs King made some cakes as it was her dad’s birthday this week. She got him some gifts and a card and visited him at his home from a distance to send him birthday love and wishes.

Mrs Grout has enjoyed walking around with her son every morning to help him deliver newspapers within her local area. She has also been busy in her garden renovating some old furniture. Here are some before and after photos. Great work Mrs Grout 😊

We hope you are all enjoying this time with your families as well as keeping safe and learning lots 🙂

Talk to you soon 🙂

Here is the link to online resources that the Hampshire moodle site have put together to support learning at home.

https://hias-moodle.mylearningapp.com/pluginfile.php/1822/mod_resource/content/0/Home%20learning%20weblinks%20pdf.pdf

Just a few more simple Science experiments to try at home with your child. Ask your child lots of questions to promote awe and wonder and get them thinking about what might be happening and why throughout the activity.

Have fun and remember to upload videos or photos to Tapestry for your child’s teachers to see.
