This week in science we are expanding our knowledge of the skeleton by building on what we have learned to far - and giving our “head bones”, “leg bones” and “back bones” their proper names.

This year in Science the ELP pupils will be looking at The Body!
As part of an extensive project exploring concepts in physiology, health and fitness, they will be investigating and learning about some of the following:
body structure and the skeleton
major organs
sight and sound
teeth
digestion
respiration
movement
health
fitness
growth
reproduction
In providing an overview and investigating pupils’ prior knowledge we will be undertaking [...]
Today was the last ELP science lesson of the 2007-08 session and Ms Cleland and Mrs Binnie had a surprise for the pupils as a thank you for all their hard work this year.
The pupils have spent much of their science time since Easter learning how to grow plants. We have discovered what things a [...]
Cactii grow in the desert
Water lilies grow in ponds
Ivy grows on walls and trees
Palm trees grow in the sun
Why do these plants grow where they do?
What factors are involved in this?
Can we remember what we learned about animals having a “habitat”? Are plants the same?
We shall be finding out this week…
Before we do, [...]

The pupils [...]

The children have transported their Weather Board to another part of Ms Cleland’s lab in order that we may create a new learning map display of our work, learning [...]
Where maths meets science - measuring the height of some of the bean plants we potted up in January…
Dale and Steven keep an eye on the growth of some of our beans. These were the beans that were originally potted in very small cups instead of the large tub. They have grown - but have [...]
In Science this week the ELP S1/S2 class have been looking at rainbows - how they are formed and what colours make up the spectrum. As if Mother Nature knew what we were up to in class, she obliged us with a natural example of a spectrum in the sky above the school.
The photograph above is [...]
The wonderful Dr Bunhead will be performing for Preston Lodge pupils on Friday the 22nd February at 11am. The ELP pupils are being treated to a special escape from lessons so that they can also enjoy the science extravaganza.
Dr Bunhead has made television appearances on CiTV and BBC children’s programmes including Blue Peter but he [...]
