Science Term 4

This term we are looking at how things change and what makes this change happen.

Year 2
Making Changes
Materials can be grouped according to their observable properties e.g. texture, colour, melting point and/or solubility can be used to group materials.
Properties of familiar materials may be changed by cooling or heating-e.g. melting or freezing.  e.g. water is usually liquid but is solid when frozen. Changes  during cooking
Dissolve, melting, evaporating, properties, solid, liquid
Context:  Use “kitchen” such as cooking, chocolate, milk




We watched some mentos mints being out in a bottle of coke and what a surprise we got. We found out that it is the uneven ( not smooth) surface of the mentos lolly that makes the coke bubble up everywhere!

We made popcorn and we found out that it is the moisture inside the kernel that makes it pop!

We did an experiment putting a jelly baby in different mixtures - water, water & vinegar, water and baking soda. We watched each container for lots of days. It was fascinating!  

We are doing lots of experiments.
