Today’s aim: to carry out a series of scientific experiments to gain a better understanding of what happens in and around water.
A scientific… and sensory approach
The ‘Measure Your Science!’ workshop is designed to spark children’s curiosity whilst equipping them with the skills to observe their surroundings in a systematic way. Les élèves ont appris à mobiliser leurs cinq sens, à manipuler des outils simples, à poser des hypothèses, et à prendre des mesures pour répondre à des questions comme : Les élèves ont appris à mobiliser leurs cinq sens, à manipuler des outils simples, à poser des hypothèses, et à prendre des mesures pour répondre à des questions comme :
- What is the water temperature?
- What is the speed of the current?
- Is the water cloudy or clear?
- What signs of life can be found on the beach at low tide?
And as the tide slowly went out… it was the perfect opportunity to wade into the mudflats and take a closer look at what this bustling bay has to offer. Laughs guaranteed, boots full of memories!
A highlight for this class, which is already well on its way
It wasn’t the first time that this class from Crac’h had visited their AME. By cycling from school, the pupils were able to spend more time in the great outdoors and strengthen their connection with this area that is so dear to them.
Their teacher’s very positive feedback is a testament to how enriching the experience was:
‘After a few classroom experiments, we went out to our school grounds to take some measurements and put our five senses to the test! Margot and Loukia led the project with patience and kindness. Thank you. We look forward to working with you again.’
Fancy trying out “Mesure ta Science!” with your class?
