In Science at Seaton Sluice Middle School, Year 5 pupils have been investigating dissolving. Firstly, the children did a solubility test to discover which substances would dissolve. Following this, they chose a variable to test to discover how to speed up the dissolving process. This included: changing the size of the sugar particles; the amount of stirs; the type of sugar and the temperature of the water. The children used their real life experiences to make predictions. They were very sensible, inquisitive scientists!

Year 5 set up an experiment to see what would happen to a lit candle when they placed different sized beakers over the top. They made excellent predictions and their investigation helped them to understand the need for oxygen!
