Mixtures
P7’s carried out a variety of experiments to explore mixtures, evaporation and dissolving. Our favourites include, Chromatography, Sieving, Filtration, Mystery Powder Investigation, not to mention creating our very own Lava Lamp!
Light
P7 explored reflections from different surfaces. We used torches to experiment with the pathways of light created through reflecting off a variety of objects and surfaces.
Next we explored visible light in the seven spectrums of colour. For this we created rainbows using water which refracted the light and created rainbows around our room.
Finally we explored shadows and learned about the effects of shadows. We worked in small groups to create a shadow puppet theatre and performed a show for the rest of our class.
it was really fun learning about light and using torches
I enjoyed doing science because I liked making the shows with light and I liked making rainbows 🙂
I loved doing this because we make rainbows!
