Science- to do with an adult! WALT: investigate gases Do gases weigh anything? Today, you will find out! We are going to be learning about Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, by looking at fizzy drinks and exploring how liquids become ‘fizzy’ when gas is added. Your investigation will involve weighing a fizzy drink, before then making it flat (by removing the CO2) and comparing the two weights. What did you find? Remember, you can take photos of you carrying out your experiments and send these into school! You will need:

• Worksheets for your investigation

• Two different fizzy drinks (e.g. coke and lemonade) and a measuring jug

• A set of scales

Monday 22nd February: English. Please have this WAGOLL ready to discuss in our lesson. You will be making more notes and annotations in tomorrow’s lesson.

Bill Simpson was a short, skinny boy who had red curls

that hugged his shoulders. The red of his hair was mirrored on his confused, embarrassed face as he shifted regrettably in a pretty, pink dress. His voice snapped as fiercely as a mouse trap as his mum poured the dress

over him. Heavy steps carried Bill’s body down the stairs and out of the door, a scowl planted on his face. As he

walked, the beautiful ruffles of the dress were ballet dancers who danced in the wind; the dress was made of silk as soft as rose petals (Bill’s least favourite flower). Looking down at his feet, and taking an apprehensive

inhale, Bill charged into school ready to face the day of uncertainty that lay ahead. Surely this was going to be the worst day ever in school history! As he crept inside, he remained unnoticed, as if he had suddenly become invisible to everybody he knows. “Am I the only person who can see that something isn’t right?”, Bill said in a voice which became lost in the dusty school hall, which

was older than Bill’s great grandad. (Do this activity when instructed) Can you annotate the different types of figurative language used here? What does it tell us about our main character? What kind of image does it create in the reader’s mind?

Monday 22nd February: Science – Investigating Gases Today, you will set up a comparative investigation to find out which fizzy drink has the most carbon dioxide in it, as this is likely to be the fizziest drink. You will weigh each fizzy drink, then shake it until it is flat and weigh it again. The difference between the two weights will tell you how much carbon dioxide is in each drink.

Have a look at the different drinks that you have available. Which one do you predict has the most carbon dioxide in it? This is just a guess! You can see if you were right at the end of the investigation.

How can you make sure your investigation is reliable? Underline the correct option in each sentence.

1. Use different OR the same amounts of fizzy drinks

2. Shake drinks for the same length OR different lengths of time

3. Use the same OR different weighing scaled each time

Carry out your investigation and complete the table of results below.

Name of drink:

Weight when fizzy:

Weight when flat:

Weight of carbon dioxide (the difference

between the two weights):

Look at your results and come to a conclusion. Which fizzy drink has the most carbon dioxide in?

Tuesday 23rd February 2021: English. Please use the image below in this lesson to make notes on description. Using your descriptive words and phrases above, can you write at least one sentence using figurative language? E.g.

WALT: plan a character description

Your description may begin:

As most children do, Bill woke up one morning for school; however when he looked at his reflection in the mirror he…

Think about what you would write next. Refer back to your work form Tuesday and use your descriptive words and phrases to write sentences using figurative language.

For example: Bill’s fiery hair was like flames that danced around his head.

Who is the character you are describing?

What is your character doing?

What has happened to your character?

Physical appearance: (metaphors and similes will work well here, .e.g. The deep ravines which map the contours of his face, tell a thousand tales of heartache and misfortune… / Her hazel eyes are bright and optimistic, despite her tragic situation…)

Personality: (What is your character like? What do we know about them so far? How do they interact with others? Are there reasons to explain why they are the way that they are? We know that he is bullied; therefore is he a nervous character? Does he avoid conflicts? Is he opinionated? Does he feel unfairly treated? Baffled, confused, irate…)

Deepest secrets/ wishes: (How is your character feeling? What has happened to Bill that hasn’t happened to anyone else in the book and how is this making him react).
