As part of our Make Your Mark experience to explore Global Goal 14 Life Below Water, P5 took part in an experiment to see what would happen when oil spills into the sea. We reused single-use plastic bottles to explore what would happen when oil mixed with water. We made predictions and observed if they would mix. Once the oil settled we added food colouring and a effervescent tablet to create lava lamps. We had great fun watching the bubbles rise and pop!
To further develop our knowledge about Global Goal 14, the children created their own BIG questions. They worked with a partner to inquire and develop their critical thinking skills to research and find out their answer. P5 confidently presented their findings to each other. Some children chose to share the information by creating a model, some chose to create a PowerPoint Presentation , others made posters and some groups even included a quiz.
P5 have been working on lots of their Meta Skills during this topic!
Mrs Sutherland is very proud of you all!
