Materials

Primary 2 have been writing science reports.  Last week we wrote about jelly changing from a solid to a liquid and then back again using heat.  This week we wanted to find out if our bottle of juice had gas in it.  Gas is difficult to work with because we can't often see it.  We came up with an experiment to prove that there was gas in the bottle.

We also studied how water could change from a solid (ice), to a gas (condensation) then into a liquid (back into water - like rain). While waiting for the ice to change the children had a challenge to sort out lots of cards into solids, liquids and gases.

Primary 2 have enjoyed using different materials to make things.  They have drawn out plans, gathered materials and had to solve design problems.  Here are a few examples; we had camper vans, robots, cats and ice cream trucks!
