STEAM - Reversible and Irreversible Changes

This week in STEAM, students have been exploring irreversible changes through a hands-on investigation of making delicious chocolate chip cookies. Students observed and discussed the changes that occurred to the ingredients as they were mixed, heated and baked.

Using video recordings, students documented their observations throughout the process and identified which changes could not be reversed. They discovered that once the ingredients were baked into cookies, they could not be changed back into their original forms, making baking a great example of an irreversible change.

Of course, the best part was enjoying the finished product while reflecting on the science behind the process! Students are developing their understanding of how materials change and learning to recognise the difference between reversible and irreversible changes in everyday life. 🍪🔬

Keep up the amazing effort and enthusiasm.

 😊Stay Happy,

Mrs Whiteley
