Saturation, this week, on the playground and in the classroom…

Thank goodness we end the week with beautiful, blue skies after Wednesday’s torrential weather. Science this week saw the children investigating the saturation point of both salt and sugar in our change of materials unit. The children are really enjoying the practical work and are increasing their knowledge and disciplinary skills. Next week we move on to seperating mixtures.

We found out that sugar has a higher saturation point than salt.  We concluded that the solubility of sugar increases much more than the solubility of salt as the temperature of the water increases.
