Gwyddoniaeth a Thechnoleg / Science and Tecnology

Adeiladu sylfaen o wybodaeth ac yn meddu’r sgiliau i gysylltu a chymhwyso’r wybodaeth honno o fewn testunau gwahanol / Are building up a body of knowledge and have the skills to connect and apply that knowledge in different contexts.

Yn ystod yr wythnos diwethaf mae plant Cam Cynnydd 3 wedi bod yn defnyddio yr hyn maent wedi dysgu am ddeunyddiau ac ynysyddion thermol i arbrofi i weld pa ddeunydd yw’r ynysydd thermol mwyaf effeithiol i gadw diodydd yn dwym ac yn oer.

During the last week, children from Progression Step 3 have been applying their knowledge and understanding of materials and thermal insulators in an experiment to find out which materials are the most effective at keeping drinks hot and cold.

Are questioning and enjoy solving problems / Holi ac yn mwynhau datrys problemau.

Yn ystod y gweithdy, cafodd blant Cam Cynnydd 3 cyfle i drafod manteision ac anfanteision defnyddio robotiaid ar gyfer tasgau cyn adeiladu robotiaid LEGO Spike eu hunain. Ar ôl iddynt adeiladu y robot fe wnaethant raglennu’r robot gan ddefnyddio codio bloc sylfaenol a gosodir amrywiaeth o heriau iddynt gan gynnwys llwyio drysfa. Roedd y gweithdy wedi bod yn fuddiol o ran datblygu gwydnwch dysgwyr wrth iddynt ehangu eu sgiliau adeiladu tîm a datrys problemau.

During this workshop children from Progression Step 3 had the chance to discuss the pros and cons of using robots for tasks before building their own LEGO Spike robots. Once built they were shown how to program the robot using basic block coding and then were set a variety of challenges including navigating a maze. This workshop has proven to be beneficial in developing the resilience of learners as they broaden both their team building and problem-solving skills.

Cafodd blant blwyddyn 5 hwyl yn gario allan arbrawf teg i weld os ydy ‘huddle’ pengwiniaid yn helpu lleihau colled tymheredd. Mesurodd y plant y gwres a gollwyd dros hanner awr pan roddwyd dŵr poeth mewn un tiwb profi ac yna ei gymharu â ‘huddle’ o 7 tiwb profi a ‘huddle’ o 19 tiwb profi. Profodd y canlyniadau fod y ‘huddle’ yn lleihau colled tymheredd.

Year 5 children had fun carrying out an experiment to see if the penguin ‘huddle’ really does help prevent heat loss. The children measured the heat loss over half an hour when hot water was placed in a single test tube and then compared it to a huddle of 7 test tubes and a huddle of 19 test tubes. The results proved that the ‘huddle’ does prevent heat loss.
