In Science, we have been learning about the human skeleton and the scientific names for some of the bones. We completed an investigation to find out if the length of someone's femur effects how far they can jump. We each measured our femur, and then worked in groups, taking turns to complete a standing long jump before measuring the distance we jumped. We then completed a results table and analysed our findings. We found out that it made no difference, and some children with the shortest femurs jumped further than those with the longest femurs. 

Have a look at our class page on the school website to see what else we have been getting up to:
