This week in Hogwarts School of Science we were learning about the terms soluble and insoluble. We learned the meaning of tricky terms such as solute, solvent and solution. We then set up experiments where we were trying to find out which materials fitted in to each category. By adding the material to warm water we found out whether chalk, sugar, coffee, gravy granules, rice, flour and  sand were soluble or insoluble.

Here we are trying it out:

We then recorded our results in our jotters and wrote a summary of the experiment.

As a Home Learning task we had to make up our own magical potions with different ingredients. We got some interesting concoctions which are now on display in our classroom alongside our very own P6s Book of Potions. We think they look great! 🙂
