Science - This week, we are going to look at eggs in more detail.

You’ll need 3 eggs and some vinegar to do all these activities.

First, take an egg and talk about it.

Here are some ideas for your discussion

Feel the shell. What is it like? Is it heavy or light? Rough or smooth? What colour is it? Are all eggs brown? Where did it come from? Do only chickens lay eggs or do other birds lay eggs too? Can we eat them? Which bird lays the biggest egg? Which bird lays the smallest egg? There are some pictures attached. Amazing!

Now break the egg into a dish and look at the yolk and the white. The yolk is the nutrition for the baby chick and the white provides water and cushioning to protect the developing chick. Can you see a thin membrane inside the shell? (This is to stop the white drying up. The shell is porous so the water would evaporate without it.) We’re going to look at this membrane again later on!

Here are some activities you can try with eggs.

Boil one for 5 minutes and another for 10 minutes. What is the same and what’s different about them? Which do you prefer to eat? How has the white and the yolk changed now they’re cooked?

Click this link to make a bouncy egg! You’ll need one egg and enough vinegar to cover the egg. It takes at least 24 hours to work but you can watch the reaction taking place while you wait. 

Further Discussion

What has happened to the egg shell? How does the egg feel now?

Have a cloth at the ready when you play with the bouncy egg!

Well done! You’ve done some egg-siting eggsperiments today!

 

Reception Story Time

Get yourself a blanket and enjoy today’s story after working so hard all day.

Le chat (luh sha) = the cat

La poule (la pool) = the hen

Topic Time

Music – EYFS Teddy – Session 5

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/me-and-my-friends-part-1-cdjp6t

 

Science -

Following on from the story of Little Red Hen who makes flour with her wheat, this week we will first learn how flour is made.

Watch these two video clips and talk about what you see and hear. The first one shows a windmill in action – how flour was ground from wheat in the old days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rauJq_LTMYI

The second one shows a modern factory making flour.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8vLjPctrcU&safe=active

The process is the same - wheat grains are ground into flour, it’s just the machinery and quantities that are different. They are both noisy places!

Discussion

What foods did you see that are made from flour?

Did you hear that the grains and flour have to be cleaned to remove any thing that shouldn’t be there such as sticks or metal?

You can have a go at this. Put some flour in a bowl and add something that shouldn’t be there such as some small stones. Can you get them out using a sieve?

Now try adding some paperclips (or similar) to some flour.

If you have a magnet, you could try getting them back out with this. Otherwise you can use the sieve again.

 

Reception Story Time

Today’s story is ‘Share’ J
