Beginning our new science topic

Today, year 5 had a very exciting start to our new science topic on materials - a visit from the STEM Discovery Centre. 

Karen and Claire led us in a range of exciting scientific investigations. 

We learn about the process of chromatography and how colours are made up of different pigments. We combined various liquids that brought about chemical reactions and produced gases Finally, we tested different materials to see which ones were the strongest. 

We learnt so much and we would like to thank the parent helpers who supported us in our investigations.
