Science can be so much fun and we really like to have fun with our learning in P2C. We could not resist the chance to carry out an experiment using key active ingredients to investigate how these reacted together and to aim for the end result of a slimy material that would be moist enough to stretch.
We used our measuring skills this time in centimetres, to make and then test the slime by measuring it before stretching, during and at breaking point. After this, we made a comparison to stretch elastic bands and measured those in centimetres too. Carefully following instructions and processes, observing reactions along the way and discussing successful and unsuccessful outcomes are all important enquiry skills.
The children has a fantastic time participating in this lesson and we will continue to make Science and STEAM subjects a key focus of our learning.
