Year Six

Change Detectives

The Year 6s have spent Term 1 investigating changes in matter.  They have taken part in experiments and an excursion to build on their understanding.  Every Friday, they have taken part in STEM sessions in science, technology and maths on the secondary campus to bring it all together.

This is what our students have said they have learnt:

States of matter can change depending on different factors

If metal in a heat pack is bent it causes a chemical reaction

Solids, liquids and gases are all states of matter

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius

If you put a balloon into liquid nitrogen it will not pop

Liquid nitrogen is around minus 195 Degrees Celsius

In an experiment you predict, reason, observe and explain what happens

Some states of matter are soluble while others are insoluble

Some changes are reversible but others are irreversible
