What powers our world?
Autumn 2: Science and DT
Welcome back, we hope you enjoyed the half term.
As you can see, this term, our topic is all about space, focusing on the question: What powers our world? We will be learning all about the solar system and using our knowledge to make a 3D moving model at the end of term! It will also fuel our writing, in which we will be learning how to write a balanced argument and our reading will also be space themed.
PE will be on Mondays and Wednesdays, so please come dressed for PE on those days [think: many layers!]
Please remember to read at home and practice times tables.
For our topic learning we will be focusing on the following ten questions:
- How do the Sun, Earth and Moon move?
- How does the rotation of the Earth create day and night?
- How does the Earth’s tilt create seasons?
- What are the phrases of the Moon?
- How have the theories about our solar system changed?
- What is included in the Solar System?
- What tools do I need to cut and shape materials?
- How do you convert a rotary motion to a linier motion using cams?
- How can I use a computer to design a product?
- How can I show understanding of the Solar System through a mechanical product?
