This half term, Year 5 have been learning about chemistry in science.
We have been learning as chemists.
Today, Year 5 conducted an experiment investigating whether various substances were soluble. Ask your child what the word soluble means!
If a substance is soluble, the substance and solvent makes a solution.
We tested three substances: salt, sand and sugar. In order to ensure a fair test, we used the same amount of solvent (water), ensured that the water was at the same temperature and left the substances to dissolve for the same amount of time.
We measured accurately…. 
Worked well in a team…. 
And made a logical conclusion based on our results.
Can your child remember which substances are soluble and which aren’t?
