What temperature does the water freeze at?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theimaginationtree.com\/freezing-and-melting-objects-in-ice\/\">https:\/\/theimaginationtree.com\/freezing-and-melting-objects-in-ice\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you have frozen your item, how could you get it back out of the ice again? There are many ways, can you find out which method is the quickest and explain why? Clue: can you remember how a solid turns back into a liquid? See if you can use your scientific knowledge to draw a labelled diagram of your item before, during and after the experiment. Can you include key words and temperatures, for each stage?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/06\/science-freezing-task.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1703 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/06\/science-freezing-task.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"312\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/06\/science-freezing-task.jpg 427w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/06\/science-freezing-task-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Religious Education \u2013 Miss Honeywell<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our school patronal feast day takes place on Sunday 28th June.\u00a0In order to prepare for this special time of the year, please choose <strong><u>ONE<\/u> <\/strong>of the following activities in order to learn more about St. Peter\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Write a diary entry as St. Peter, when he escaped from prison.

Blow some bubbles!<\/p>\n<p>Put a straw into your bubble solution and try blowing gently into the liquid. You should be able to make a lot of bubbles very quickly. Then dip one end of a straw into the solution, take it out and blow gently through the other end. See if you can control the size of bubble you can blow out of the straw.<\/p>\n<p>Try making bubbles using things with bigger holes, like a paperclip or pipe cleaner bent into a circle. Try poking a dry finger into a bubble, then try the same thing after dipping your finger in bubble solution.<\/p>\n<p>Try making bubbles inside bubbles by poking a straw dipped in bubble solution into an existing bubble and blowing again.<\/p>\n<p>Try out objects with different shaped holes, like cookie cutters or pipe cleaners bent into other shapes. Try objects with really big holes, like a coat hanger or a cake baking tin with its bottom removed. Try making giant bubbles with the special wand we show you how to make in the video.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Going Further:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can experiment with your bubble mixture and giant bubble wand to see just how big you can get your bubbles to be.
