This half term in Science, we are learning all about the properties of materials.  This week, we have been investigating which materials are soluble in water.  This means that they dissolve and create a solution.  We tested six different materials and were surprised by some of our results.  For example, the tea leaves did not dissolve and we expected them too.  We discussed this and thought that maybe the water needed to be hot for this to happen.  We also found that some of our group’s sugar and water did not dissolve fully even though sugar is a solute.  We decided that this was because there wasn’t enough water for the amount of substance and showed the importance of a fair test as different groups used different amounts of water and material.  Excellent scientific enquiry Blossoms!
