Easter Holiday Aims:
|
R.E. Activity: |
Can you recall the key events in the story of Easter and why is it an important festival for Christians?
Watch the following story of the Christian Story of Easter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnbo2AmS3OI
Questions: Why is Easter a significant festival? What key events do we learn about the life of Jesus? What message can we learn from the story? How do the events in the story demonstrate God’s love?
Open R.E. Story Board and create a cartoon story board showing the significant events in the story.
Extension: If you have access to an I-pad, create an animated version of the story using stop framing techniques (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw80ki6kc-k) or use paper cut techniques, just like we used to create our Greek myth animations in term 1.

Science Activities: |
1) Tornado in a bottle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LfZFGcGc_I

2) Rainbow in a jar This experiment takes advantage of density to create a rainbow in a glass. When you add sugar to a liquid, it causes the solution to become denser. The more sugar you add, the denser the solution is. If you have four different solutions that are all different colours and densities, the colours will layer on top of each other — the denser, more sugary solutions will sit on the bottom and the lightest will sit on the top. https://primaryplayground.net/rainbow-in-a-jar-science-experiment/

3) Make your own lava lamp Alka-seltzer is great if you're suffering from heartburn or an upset stomach…but you probably didn't know that it's also great if you're looking to create your own homemade lava lamp!
Because oil and water have different densities and polarities, when you mix them together, the water sinks to the bottom. When you add food colouring, which is water based, it will sink to the bottom as well.
If you crumble in an alka-seltzer tablet, it reacts with the water, causing coloured droplets of water to rise to the top where they then pop, release air and sink back to the bottom. https://funlearningforkids.com/super-cool-lava-lamp-experiment/

4) Build a table top hover craft If you are using the cap from a water bottle, cover the centre hole of the CD with a piece of tape and poke about 6 holes in the tape with a push-pin or small nail. This will slow down the flow of air and allow your hovercraft to hover longer. Use the hot glue gun to glue the cap to the centre of the CD or DVD disc. Create a good seal to keep air from escaping.
Blow up the balloon all the way and pinch the neck of it (don’t tie it).
Make sure the pop-top is closed and fit the neck of the balloon over the pop-up portion of the cap (this is usually easier with 2 people).

5) Make Eggshell Geode Crystals Make sparkly crystal “geodes” inside real eggshells. First, you’ll need to make a supersaturated solution (like the ones we made in term 1, where no more solute can be dissolved). Can you think of other solids you can use to grow crystals?
