Lesson Planning
Teaching
- To investigate the physical and chemical reactions of mixing given solids with liquids (Yr5&6).
- To set up further comparative investigations based on observations (Yr5&6).
- To record and present findings, offering scientific explanations for observations (Yr5&6).
Activities
- Plan and carry out investigations to observe the reaction of given solids in given liquids or mixture (Yr5&6)
- Make and record observations, suggesting reasons for their observations (Yr5&6)
- Set up further investigations (Yr5&6)
Investigation
Mind-blowing Mixtures. Explore the world of weird and wonderful combinations and reactions of solids and liquids. Try and make sense of the crazy results you encounter. (Exploring, Pattern seeking, Fair testing, Observing over time)
