Year 1 visit to the Science Lab

Year 1 visit to the Science Lab - Year 1 visit to the Science Lab

This week the four Year 1 classes enjoyed a visit to the Secondary Science labs, as part of their topic of 'Animals'. The children looked at an ammonite fossil,  pine marten skull, gazelle skin, sheep skin,  porcupine quills and various bird feathers. They completed their very own animal passport. Thank You Dr. Byron Woods for an informative, hands-on experience. 

The children also had an opportunity to ask animal related questions to our expert. Please see below some of our interesting questions:

 
"Why do kangaroos jump high?" Farkas

" What is the difference between turtles and tortoises?" Leo

"Why do baby deer not have horns?" Alya

"Why do hyenas have whiskers?" Seongvin

"Why do giraffes have long necks?" Máté

"Why do cheetahs run so fast?" Malia
