In science, this half term, Kestrel class @FP has been learning about properties and changes of materials. They’ve learned how to identify different materials based on their physical properties; discover how to separate mixtures; about chemical reactions and why some changes are reversible and some are not. 

In this science experiment – filtering dirty water –  they were able to use their knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how to separate a mixture. 

In this lesson, children learned how scientists and engineers apply their knowledge to help provide safe drinking water. They learned why some water is unsafe to drink and consider natural ways it can be filtered and made ‘clean’. Children developed their disciplinary knowledge by creating a water filter from natural materials.

Why don’t you try it at home?
