Lesson Planning
Teaching
- Plan (Y6) and carry out a series of investigations, mixing and changing the temperature of given substances (Y5&6).
- Investigate filtering, sieving, evaporating and changes in temperature as processes to reverse dissolving, mixing and changes of state (Y5&6).
- Record findings and present methods in written and table form (Y5&6).
Activities
- Plan (Y6) and carry out investigations into the mixing and heating/cooling of solids & liquids (Y5&6)
- Use sieving, filtration, evaporation and changes in temp to reverse changes (Y5&6)
- Record and outline methods and findings, including graphs, in the form of a technician’s brief (Y5&6)
Investigation
Mud, glorious mud. Dissolve into your first challenge by making an array of muddy forms, from muddy puddles to lumps of squidgy mud by investigating what happens when you mix various substances – you will also be asked to try and reset you materials for the next take. (Exploring, Fair testing, Problem solving, Classifying and identifying)
Year 5 - Carry out investigations into the mixing and heating/cooling of solids & liquids. Use sieving, filtration, evaporation and changes in temp to reverse changes then record and outline methods and findings, including graphs, in the form of a technicians brief
Year 6 - Plan and carry out investigations into the mixing and heating/cooling of solids & liquids. Use sieving, filtration, evaporation and changes in temp to reverse changes then record and outline methods and findings, including graphs, in the form of a technicians brief
