Science experiments at Loreto

Miss Carr and Mr Blain’s class had the exciting opportunity to visit the Science department at Loreto. Mrs Manton explained that they would work on a project called ‘Shipwrecked’ where they had to complete a practical experiment separating sand, salt and iron. Firstly, they knew that iron was magnetic so they used a magnet to take the iron out of the mixture. Then they added water to the sand and salt mixture. They knew the salt would dissolve in water. Then they filtered their mixture to separate the sand from the salt water. Finally, they boiled the salt mixture to evaporate the water and they were left with salt. As the children finished their work quickly, Mrs Manton gave the children a demonstration of why fireworks are all different colours. She showed us that different elements turn different colours when placed into a flame. The children absolutely loved this and said it was the best part of the trip. 

Thank you Mrs Manton!
