Case Study 2
In Case Study 2, we looked into the magnetic Science was a driver for this case study and the Learning Targets were:
Biology
Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to specific habitats.
Physics
Compare how things move on different surfaces.
Notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance.
Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others.
Describe magnets as having two poles.
Predict whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing.
Children also developed their knowledge and skills of ‘Working Scientifically’ throughout the Case Study.

Biology - How are rising temperatures impacting the planet? An experiment to investigate and measure what causes ice to melt.
We discussed how to set up our experiment by choosing locations in school to place ice cubes. We then measured the amount of melt water over a regular period of time, to decide which factor had the most influence on the ice.
We then discussed how this could be applied to the arctic.
