In Science we did an experiment to see if by changing ingredients in a salad it would still make them look the same. First we all sat down on the carpet and went through a book that Miss Rae had made for us in ibooks. At the end of the first chapter, it told us about what our task was. We were to make our own salad using many different ingredients, Miss Rae told us that we could pick one item that we could swap and we could take two other ingredients. We sorted ourselves into groups of 5 or 6. Then we chose two people to chop up the food for us. Then we began making our salad. Some of the ingredients we used were lettuce, tomato, potato, celery, sweetcorn, vinegar, salad cream and a couple more. When we were finished, we all got to try some of the salad the other people made. They all looked delicious! From doing this experiment we learned that a small change in the ingredients of something, can have a huge change in the results. We learned that it doesn’t make one better than the other though.
Wow, Primary 6 this sounds a fantasic experiment and also shows all the different things that you can add to a salad.
My mum used to add grapes and thin orange slices to a salad….I used to love it. Think I must try that again.
A great blog that gets me thinking too !!
