In Year 4, Chaffinch class @FP, the children took part in a science work shop this week. The scientist came into school and showed the children some interesting experiements. She talked to them about atoms, electrons and neutrons! They also got to make their own slime.

Did you know:

Everything in the universe is made up of atoms. They are the basic building blocks of all types of matter in the universe.

Atoms are incredibly small, measuring one-tenth of a billionth of a metre across. They are so small that you can’t see them even under a powerful microscope. Because they are so small, it takes trillions of atoms to make up anything, for example, there are 7 billion billion billion atoms in your body.
