Ronan brought in a picture of the supermoon for us to look at. 
A supermoon happens every once in a while when the moon is closer to the Earth than usual.

Life Cycle of a Daffodil

21/3/2014

In Science this week we are learning about the life cycle of a daffodil from a tiny seed to a full blooming flower!

We watched this video on the internet to see how flowers grow and bloom. It's a time lapse video so things that take weeks or months in the real world are shown in only a few seconds!

Flowers Timelapse from Katka Pruskova on Vimeo.

After that we talked about the things that flowers need to grow and we played a cool game on the internet!

We've been learning about Hedgehogs this week and we even had a go at making our own.
Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals which means they only come out at night.
They eat small insects and when they feel scared they curl up into a ball.

Heating and Cooling

We did an experiment to see how heating and cooling affect different materials.


We recorded how the materials had changed after cooling and then heated them up again to see if the change was reversible or not!

We learned about materials that are opaque and transparent. Opaque materials don't let light pass through them and they are great for making shadow puppets!

This is a photo of the night sky over Ireland. 
It shows some of the millions of stars in our galaxy.
It is cool to think that each of these could be a sun just like ours for some other planet!

The Earth in Space

We began our discussion about the  Earth in space by looking at this very famous photo.

It's called "Earthrise" and it shows the Earth rising over the moon. It was taken during the Apollo 8 mission.
We then talked about how big we thought the Earth, Sun and Moon were when they are compared with one another.
Picture
Most of us thought that if the Sun was the size of a beachball then the Earth would be about the size of a football and the Moon would be about the size of tennis ball.
We headed out to the yard to see if we were right!
Picture
We found out from NASA's website that if the Sun was the size of a beachball then the Earth would be smaller than a pea!

Also, it would more than 110 metres away from the beachball!

Our new Science topic is "Magnets and Magnetism".
This week we were experimenting with different materials to see if they were attracted to the magnet. We also tried to use our magnets through different materials to see how strong they were.
