Science Workshop at Loreto with Mrs Sutton’s class
Mrs Sutton’s class had the exciting opportunity to visit the Science department at Loreto. They worked 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. The children said the best part was using the Bunsen burners. Here are some of the pictures from the day.
