YEAR 5 – Alchemy Island

The new projects run for the first half of the Spring term, Monday 6^th January  to Friday 7^th February. Homework contributions can be made throughout the half term, please make sure your child brings in something that they have worked on at home. 

Below is a list of ideas for each project, try one of these or something else project related.

• Make a list of foods that change state when heated or cooled, such as eggs, water, butter and chocolate.
• Find out if your family owns anything made of gold or another precious metal or gemstone. What can you find out about where it came from?
• Find out about – and watch! – films that show portals to other fantasy worlds, such as ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland.
• Use a periodic table to find out the atomic numbers and symbols for metals, such as lead, copper, silver, zinc, iron and platinum.
• Use a magnet to test the magnetic properties of metals around the home and record your discoveries in a data table.
• Combine art and science to make an astonishing and unique gemstone! Experiment with materials such as wax, resin, plaster and jelly!
• Plan a journey using a map and record the co-ordinates of where you went!
• Research plate tectonics. Which countries are on a plate border?
• In RE we are learning about Judaism. What do you know about the synagogue?
• In geography we will learn about volcanoes and earthquakes. What causes an earthquake? Why does a volcano erupt?
• In art, we are going to create our own island sculptures. Can you create your own sculpture?
