Year 2

On Friday 15 November, Year 2 students were lucky enough to visit the Santa Sabina College Science Laboratory, accompanied by their teachers. This session was focused on supporting students’ exploration of Properties of Materials, within Science, with a particular focus on mixing materials. Students engaged in an experiment, whereby they worked in small groups to make playdough. They mixed together flour, salt, cream of tartar, oil, food colouring and water, and were encouraged to observe what happens when they are mixed. Here, students engaged in discussions surrounding if the materials in this mixture can then be separated once the playdough was made and reflected on whether their predictions prior to the experiment, aligned with the results. This was an engaging and memorable experience for students!
