This term, our Primary 6 pupils have been developing their scientific skills as they explored 'Healthy Habits’ as part of their World Around Us topic. Through hands-on investigations, they have been learning about the impact of diet and exercise on their bodies.
They examined how different drinks affect teeth by soaking eggshells in liquids like water, milk, juice, and Coca-Cola. Observing the eggshell changes over time, they learned how sugary and acidic drinks can weaken and damage teeth. They ensured that they carried out a fair test by controlling variables such as the size of the container, liquid amounts, and length of time.
Pupils have also been learning about major organs and exploring how exercise affects the body. They measured their pulse before and after exercise, discovering how activity increases heart rate.
Hopefully Primary 6 will now continue develop healthy habits to ensure they live a healthy lifestyle.
