Everyone welcome! # Year 3 - Working Scientifically - Asking Questions ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_3369.jpeg) 9 September 2026 This week we started a very exciting science unit on scientific enquiry. Our first lesson involved identifying and writing scientific questions about chemical reactions. We mixed vinegar with bicarbonate of soda and washing up liquid and observed the effects. After the experiment, we learned how to answer our questions based on what we observed. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_3369.jpeg) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/DE5FC74E-FFC8-45C4-B7C7-23031820458B.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-08-m-m-production-the-new-adventures-of-pinocchio) Previous ### [M&M Production: The New Adventures of Pinocchio ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-08-m-m-production-the-new-adventures-of-pinocchio) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/61CC3F84-3343-42D8-9208-0D6BE83C39BD.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-10-year-4-national-day-of-prayer-for-schools) Next ### [Year 4 - National Day of Prayer for Schools ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-10-year-4-national-day-of-prayer-for-schools) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
