Our science focus this week has been investigating substances that will dissolve in water.\u00a0 We had 4 substances to test – sugar, flour, salt and sand.<\/p>\n

First, we made our predictions, then it was time to test!\u00a0 We set up a fair test using the same amount of water for each jar, the same amount of each substance and we stirred each jar the same number of times.<\/p>\n

We made some interesting discoveries and are already thinking about what we want to change about the investigation next week.<\/p>\n

Some pupils want to see if the water temperature will affect how quickly a substance will dissolve.\u00a0 Others want to try adding different amounts of water and some spoke about stirring the water for longer.<\/p>\n
