STEM
Week 5
Preps sorted materials based on whether the material was hard or soft.
1/2s used informal units to measure different materials and recorded their findings.
3/4s learnt about the properties of gases. They then made predictions and observed what occurred when a balloon filled with bicarb soda was placed onto a bottle with vinegar in it.
5/6s completed a poster to showcase their knowledge and understanding of states of matter – solids, liquids and gases.
Week 6
Preps selected different objects to discuss in groups properties of these.
1/2s spoke about how objects can be made from more than one material. An example of this is a toy car – made from metal and plastic. Another example was a magnifying glass – made from glass and plastic.
3/4s completed a poster to present their learning about states of matter.
5/6s explored different mixtures – salt and pepper, flour and water, sugar and water.
