Using intense x-rays generated at Berkeley University's Advanced
Light Source, the team captured time - resolved images of whirlpool
patterns called magnetic vortices
as they gyrated along a nanometer - wide half - ring track.
Graney suggested in 2008 that Galileo's observations of stars were actually diffraction
patterns called Airy disks —
patterns of concentric circles that arise when
light from a point
source, such
as a star, passes through a hole.
Year 4 Science Assessments Objectives covered: Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways Explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things Describe the simple functions of the basic parts of the digestive system in humans Identify the different types of teeth in humans and their simple functions Construct and interpret a variety of food chains, identifying producers, predators and prey Compare and group materials together, according to whether they are solids, liquids or gases Observe that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled, and measure or research the temperature at which this happens in degrees Celsius (°C) Identify the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature Identify how sounds are made, associating some of them with something vibrating Recognise that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear Find
patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it Find
patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it Recognise that sounds get fainter
as the distance from the sound
source increases Identify common appliances that run on electricity Construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers Identify whether or not a lamp will
light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery Recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp
lights in a simple series circuit Recognise some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors
Their imagery and atmosphere evoke celestial bodies
as seen from a distance, the
light sources emanating directional lines or radial
patterns which result in subtle gradients.
