Science

We will be approaching Science from the perspective of Science as an Inquiry Skill. We will be exploring and investigating changes of matter.

Solids, liquids and gases behave in different ways and have observable properties that help to classify them

1. exploring the way solids, liquids and gases change under different situations, for example, heating and cooling
2. observing that gases have mass and take up space, demonstrated by using balloons or bubbles
3. recognising that not all substances can be easily classified as solids, liquids or gases on the basis of their observable properties

Changes to materials can be reversible, including melting, freezing, evaporating, or irreversible, including burning and rusting

1. investigating the three changes of state in water
2. investigating irreversible changes, for example, rusting, burning and cooking
3. exploring how reversible changes can be used to recycle materials
