Year 5 Investigate Mixtures and Solutions
This week, Year 5 have been learning about mixtures and solutions. They carried out an experiment to investigate which substances are soluble in water.
The children tested sugar, salt, oil, tissue and flour. They carefully mixed each substance with water and observed what happened. They discovered that some substances dissolved in the water, while others did not.
We learned that a substance is soluble if it dissolves in a liquid to form a solution. Substances that do not dissolve are described as insoluble.
The children enjoyed making predictions, carrying out a fair test and observing the results like real scientists!
