Year 3 - Science Day
Date: 19th Mar 2026 @ 8:49am
During Science Day, our class explored a deliciously fun question: Which digestive biscuit makes the best dunker? Children tested four types—plain, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate caramel. Before investigating, most pupils predicted that the milk chocolate caramel digestive would perform best. They reasoned that its extra layers and sticky caramel would help it hold together for longer when dunked.
After carefully carrying out our fair test and counting how many dunks each biscuit could survive, we discovered that most of the children were right! The caramel digestive proved to be the strongest dunker. A tasty experiment and great scientific thinking!
We also took part in some exciting electricity investigations in the hall. The children formed a large circle and held hands to complete a circuit using an electric energy stick, which lights up and makes sound when electricity can flow through everyone. The class loved seeing how breaking the chain stopped the flow instantly! We then explored a static electricity rope, powered by a motor, that lifted up towards the ceiling. Children had great fun touching it, stepping through it, and watching how it reacted. To finish, everyone had a turn standing inside a special ring to be surrounded by a giant bubble—a magical way to end our science session!
