This half term, our Science focus is States of Matter and we are chemists!
Take a look at our list of vocabulary that we’ve been learning about in class. How well would you say you know their definitions?
Some of them are quite tricky. Can you remember the actions we’ve done in class?
| dissolve | when a solid mixes with liquid to make a solution | |
| mixture | two or more substances that can be separated | |
| chemical reaction | a process in which one or more substances are converted to one or more different substances
|
|
| soluble | when something can dissolve | |
| solvent | usually (liquid) that does the dissolving | |
| reversible | a change that can be undone or reversed
|
|
| insoluble | when something can’t dissolve | |
| solution | mixture of solid and liquid (you might not be able to see the solid)
|
|
| irreversible | a change that can’t be undone or reversed
|
We’re also Geographers this half term and we’re learning about urban green spaces and city expansion.
What small activities could you do at home to help you remember this list of vocabulary?
| national park | an area set aside by the government for the preservation of the natural environment | |
