Lesson 4 - Mary Leakey
This week you will learn about Mary Leakey, a scientist who found many important fossils of early humans and made a significant contribution to our understanding of how Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution relates to humans.
You will find out about Mary Leakey’s life and work and explore the fossils she found through an engaging ‘find and sink’ game, before explaining what the fossils found by Leakey tell us about human evolution.

Lesson 1 - Libble Hyman
We are going to be focusing on famous inventors and inventions. Use the Powerpoint on the class website to look through the life and explorations of Libbie Hyman. Find out what made her such an incredible scientist and try some experiments of your own.
What is the difference between and vertebrates and invertebrates? Look through the powerpoint to discover the work Libbie Hyman achieved in this area.
Then chose an invertebrate - Can you design a fact file that Libbie could have included in one of her studies?

Local Area Field Guide
Local Area Field Guide
Identify living things in the habitat around your local area during your daily exercise. Remember not to touch or eat any of the organisms they find. First, use the Local Species Activity Sheet to keep a list of the plants and animals you find.
Then, use the differentiated Field Guide Activity Sheet to create your own Field Guide to the habitat around your local area. Classify the organisms you found and add them to the correct area of your Field Guide.

Microorganisms
Microorganisms
Use the powerpoint to understand what microorganisms are and look at the examples.
Some microorganisms are helpful and some are harmful. Use the information to differentiate between them.
Mould is the name for the types of fungi that grow on food. What do you think makes mould grow?It is useful to know what makes mould grow so that we can stop it happening as fast, and keep our food fresher for longer.
Use the investigation line the find out the conditions which cause mould to grow.
Record your results over a week and see what you notice.

Curious Creatures
Curious Creatures
Using the worksheet and the PowerPoint, what is the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates?
How can animals be classified further? Think of your learning from Year 4 (mammals etc etc). What characteristics does each group have?
The discovery of the platypus amazed scientists. Look its characteristics and the groups of animals that these characteristics are usually associated with - why is the platypus is classified as a mammal and not a reptile or bird?
Your challenge is to design a new 'curious creature' and create fact file using the worksheet.
Ensure that your creature should exhibit characteristics of a different group of animals. Can you correctly classify it and explain why it fits in that group?

How to make a cloud in a jar using hairspray
How to make a cloud in a jar using hairspray
For this method, you will need the following materials:
A jar with lid
About 1/3 cup hot water
Ice
Hairspray (which I forgot to include in the picture below)
Start by pouring the hot water into the jar. Swirl it around a bit to warm up the sides of the jar.
Turn the lid upside down and place it on the top of the jar. Place several ice cubes onto the lid, and allow it to rest on the top of the jar for about 20 seconds.
Remove the lid, quickly spray a bit of hairspray into the jar, and then replace the lid with the ice still on top. Watch the cloud form.
When you see a good amount of condensation form, remove the lid and watch the “cloud” escape into the air.
Can you explain what is happening? How could make a bigger cloud?
