Year 5 - Science

Date: 4th Dec 2025 @ 12:18pm

In Science, Year 5 have been learning about dissolving, filtering and the difference between a solution and a mixture. As part of their experiments, they investigated what happens when soil, sand, and salt are added to water. They observed that salt dissolves in water to form a solution, while soil and sand do not dissolve. The class then practiced filtering, using a filter to separate the sand from the water, demonstrating how mixtures can be separated using physical methods. Through these activities, the students are gaining a better understanding of solutions, mixtures, and practical scientific techniques.
