The year Three’s have learnt about how changing the temperature of a material can change the state of matter. They have learnt about making Bush glue, measuring melting points and researched different metals and how they can be recycled. The year Four’s have been learning about Natural and Processed material qualities. They have tested how different balls bounce because of what they are made from, they have designed bark boats based on their learning about Paper Bark boats used by Aboriginal People, and lastly have designed a product that has a sustainable purpose rather than using single-use items.

In Year Five, students have experimented with making Hot chocolate to learn further about change of state. They compressed olives to learn about how different types of oil are made and will be finishing off the term making ice-cream. The Year Six students have looked at the way irreversible changes can occur such as creating a gas and combustion. They particularly enjoyed creating carbon snakes and will finish the term designing their own chemical reaction!

Attached are some of the photos from the term.

Have a safe and happy holiday break,
