Year 1 Science Day

Date: 21st Apr 2022 @ 7:26pm

Today as part of Science Day we investigated the question, ‘Do our body parts grow as we get older?’ We took a sample of hand spans and foot lengths from children from Reception to Year 6. We then used rulers to measure the lengths of each and recorded our results in a table. We discussed our results and identified any ‘anomalies.’ From these results we then created bar graphs to display what we had found out. We discussed that the anomalies are due to the fact everyone is different and grows at different rates. We also explored this through comparing the hand span and foot length of children in our classroom who are the same age. Overall, we found that almost all of our body parts grow as we get older and generally this was shown in our results. We then shared our learning with the rest of our school in our end of day assembly.
