Year 6: Developing chemistry knowledge!

As part of case study 1 in our theme ‘Do You Understand The Magic of Motion?’, children have been studying chemistry to study reversible and irreversible changes. In this experiment, children were tasked with separating materials through using different processes such as filtration. Our next steps are now to look at how steam was used to power trains during the industrial revolution. We will discuss the how energy is made from the coal and we will link this to our reversible and irreversible knowledge.

This was our critique from the lesson:

I notice…We learnt how to separate two substances (Kenzie)

I praise…We used materials to filter our liquid to make it cleaner (Hattie)

I wonder…try different equipment as filters
