Reception Science Experiment Float or sink? As part of our harvest topic, we carried out an experiment to see which harvest food floated or sunk to the bottom of the water tray. Top group - made predictions before carrying out the experiment Middle group - drew pictures on a table to illustrate the outcome Bottom group - circled the food that sunk.

We wrote sounds on cups/milk lids. We laminated these mats and children had to match the inital sound to the picture.

Reception Activity - Science Experiment We cut an apple up into quarters. We talked about cutting it in half, and having 2 pieces, then half again, now we have quarters, 4 pieces altogether! We put one in water, one in oil, one in vinegar and the other ‘air’. We put them in the cupboard for 4 days then looked at at them to see if there were any changes in appearance, texture or smell.

I cut these pictures out and my class worked in groups to create sound stories. They choose which order to put the pictures in. Each picture represented a different musical element. Lion - Loud Mouse - Quiet Cheetah - Fast Snail - Slow Children then took it in turns to close their eyes and guess the musical elements used in the sound stories.

To make carnivore poo, I added pasta shells as bones and fur. To make omnivore, I added leaves twigs, pasta shells and fur.
