We have conducted lots of experiments this year. We decided to build on our knowledge of soluble and insoluble substances. We experimented with household items like flour, cocoa powder and salt. We found that creating these solutions was similar to things we see at home like making pasta (we add salt to the boiling water at home), making a cup of tea (stirring a spoon of sugar) and making hot chocolate!

I’m delighted to say that we are becoming more comfortable using the scientific vocabulary that will help us in the future: apparatus, saturated, soluble and dissolve have all become part and parcel of our language during these experiments!
