Science Homework – Wednesday 8th October 2014
In today’s Science lesson we were thinking again about King Cnut, the first Viking King of the whole of
England. The most famous thing he did was trying to hold back the sea in an effort to prove to his
advisors that he was not the all-powerful monarch they believed him to be.
Net week you will be carrying out an investigation to find which material is the best for holding back
some water. I showed you how the test would work today and you had the opportunity to discuss your
initial ideas.
For your Science homework this week, you need to copy up the notes which you made in your groups
this afternoon. Please set out your work using sub-titles (copy them from the sheet) and put the notes
into full sentences. When you’ve finished, please also check for the usual handwriting issues, capital
letters, spelling and that your work makes sense. As you will carry out the investigation next week, your
work should be in the future tense.
Also, please gather some things you would like to test. Your group should choose the same number of
materials as people in the group – a group of 5 will test 5 materials for example. You should have
already agreed who is going to bring in what next week.
I will bring ________________________________
If it turns out that you can’t bring in the material which has been agreed, please swap with another
member of your group.
