It’s science week so we have been participating in STEAM (Science, technology, engineering, art and maths) activities throughout the week.
We started the week with some science experiments relating to materials, their properties and changes of states of matter (dissolving).
We mixed different substances to see which ones dissolves in water (soluble) and which ones did not (insoluble). We were working scientifically on our observing skills by looking closely at the water to see if we could still see the substance.
We found out that flour, sand and pepper are insoluble because they do not dissolve in water. Coffee, salt and sugar were soluble. They did dissolve. We discussed how dissolving is when it looks like it has disappeared but it is still there in the mixture. A solution has been formed.
Later in the week, we took part in some art by modelling clay pots!
Finally, today Kahlo class did lots of maths problem solving activities to finish off the week of STEAM!
This included code breaking skills (creating and cracking cipher codes!), quick times table knowledge and problem solving using dominoes.
