Science Assembly

We were very lucky to have the secondary science department carry out some demonstrations during our Year 5 assembly today.

Have a look at the videos below? What do you think happened? Why did the flame burn in that way? Is this a reversible reaction?

Science - Changing State

We have started our new Science topic of Materials and Changes of State.

This week we carried out our first experiment to carry out a chemical reaction and observe how the particles in a gas will move and occupy the space available to it. Have a look at our timelapse video below.

We are looking forward to many practical experiments we will be carrying out over the next few weeks.

"We saw that when the bicarbonate of soda interacted with the vinegar it fizzed up and all the gas went up. Since there wasn't an opening it blew up the balloon."
