We have been carrying out lots of fun science experiments over the last few weeks.

We have been learning that different materials have different properties and that you can change a materials properties by heating them. We carried out experiments and we had to predict if they burned, melted or stayed the same. We had to test it on plastic, wood, metal, chocolate, glass and rock. Ms Zeitlin wore special glasses to protect her eyes when she was heating the materials.

We also carried out experiments that tested out if materials floated, sank, were hard or soft, absorbed or repelled water as well as if they were flexible or rigid. We worked well in groups of four. We all had different jobs in the group. We were reporters, experimenters, scribes and resource managers.

We enjoyed having fun learning about materials!
