  • Team McCurry investigate lava!

    Published 07/10/26, by Kiki Amin

    This term, Year 4 have been exploring the fascinating world of volcanoes and today, they delved deeper into lava! Children investigated whether lava with low or high viscosity travels further, making predictions and testing ideas using different liquids including honey, shampoo, vinegar and ketchup. We discovered that some liquids flow much more easily than others! We also learnt that when lava cools, it becomes solid igneous rock, and explored how the viscosity of lava can affect the way it flows.

    With plenty of hands-on learning and some fantastic scientific questions along the way, we had such a fun lesson today! We cannot wait to show you our beautiful volcano work next term at parent consultations too!🌋
