From Kimalee Fernandes, Georgie Murphy and Nick Sell, Science teachers
Year 3 - States of matter
Students have been learning all things states of matter. We have been testing different substances and understanding how different materials and substances behave differently. We have also been using our science communication skills to make posters to explain our thinking to others.
Year 4/5 - Natural & Processed Materials
We have been exploring how yeast and sugar can form carbon dioxide gas. They conducted an experiment and recorded their results as they observed the changes. The Year 5 students have also been changing their variables to see how the yeast can react to different carbohydrates and other substances.
Year 6
We have been preparing for a big term of experimentation. This week we have been learning about the groups and periods in the periodic table and how different molecules and compounds interact with each other. Look out in the coming weeks for multiple messy experiments (I will try my best to contain them within the science room!)
Science At Home
If you’d like to try making your own paper at home here are a couple of great resources.
