Today, Year 5 took their science lesson outside to investigate how to separate a mixture of stones, sand, salt, and water. Working in pairs, they used methods like sieving, filtration, and evaporation to tackle the challenge.

Pupils showed great teamwork and used key scientific terms such as filtration, evaporation, and physical change. The final step evaporating the salty water to leave behind salt crystals will be completed using the sun!

A fun, hands-on lesson that brought science to life in the sunshine!
