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 Science Dissolving Autumn 2021 [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211104_150030.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211104_150030.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211104_150058.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211104_150058.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211104_150319.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211104_150319.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211104_150837.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211104_150837.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_115834.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_115834.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_120206.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_120206.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_120602.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_120602.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_120739.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_120739.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_120848.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211105_120848.jpg) 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! ### Year 5 Science Oxygen Autumn 2021 [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211201_151955.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211201_151955.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211201_152008.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-dissolving-autumn-2021/20211201_152008.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-oxygen-autumn-2021/20211201_152058.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-oxygen-autumn-2021/20211201_152058.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-oxygen-autumn-2021/20211201_152114.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-oxygen-autumn-2021/20211201_152114.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-oxygen-autumn-2021/20211201_152245.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-oxygen-autumn-2021/20211201_152245.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-oxygen-autumn-2021/20211201_152254.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-science-oxygen-autumn-2021/20211201_152254.jpg) The pupils were also very excited to discover what happened when they mixed bicarbonate of soda with vinegar. Lots of fun was had by all! ### Year 5 Chemical Reactions SSMS Autumn 2021 [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_151638.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_151638.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_151717.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_151717.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_151807.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_151807.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_151835%20(1).jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_151835%20(1).jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_152051.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_152051.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_152115.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_152115.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_152205.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/gallery/year-5-chemical-reactions-ssms-autumn-2021/20211209_152205.jpg) [**More Year 5 Science News**](https://svf.org.uk/news/2021-10-22-magnets-ice-melting-and-more-at-ssms) [SSMS](https://svf.org.uk/news/tag/ssms) [ SSMS Stars and Good Samaritans!](https://svf.org.uk/news/2021-12-13-ssms-stars-and-good-samaritans) [SVF Focus Magazine ](https://svf.org.uk/news/2021-12-15-svf-focus-magazine) ![Seaton Valley Federation](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/logo/SeatonValley_Logo(2).png) #### Seaton Valley Federation Prospect Avenue Seaton Delaval Northumberland NE25 0FW 0191 2371505 #### Useful Links: - [News](https://svf.org.uk/news) - [Contact Us](https://svf.org.uk/contact-us) - [Events](https://svf.org.uk/events) - [Vacancies](https://svf.org.uk/job-vacancies) #### More Links: - [Calendar](https://svf.org.uk/calendar) - [School Email](https://sites.google.com/achs.svf.org.uk/launchpad-selection) - [My Child at School](https://svf.org.uk/my-child-at-school) - [Term Dates](https://svf.org.uk/term-dates) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Seaton-Valley-Federation-of-Schools-103527542434937) - [X](https://twitter.com/@seatonvalleyfed) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/seatonvalleyfed) © Copyright 2018–2026 Seaton Valley Federation School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://svf.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
