Science Week
Science Week was full of lots of practical activities and experiments. The children began the week by making scientific predictions about change. We looked at what happens to skittles once they are put into water. We all watched as the colours started to create a wonderful pattern.
Following on from this we had a visit from Dr Nick who talked to us about change and how different materials can change. We all had an ice cube to hold and we discussed what happens to the ice once it melts. Some of us pretended to be particles and helped Dr Nick to show this change from a solid to a liquid.
We were then given an ice cube, a piece of string, some salt and some water. We wanted to see if we could melt the ice with the salt, hold the string and then pour water over to refreeze the ice. Most of us managed it first time around, lots of us thought it was magic!
