Can I become a CSI investigator?

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 5 Year: 2017 - 2018

This half term, during our science lessons, Y5 will be investigating materials. Some of the things we will be learning include:

• comparing and grouping together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency and conductivity.
•   finding out that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution.
•   demonstrating that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes

To start this topic Y5 became investigators who were trying to solve a 'crime'. They were given evidence and suspect pictures, which they had to use to plan a fair test to solve the crime.

There was so much fantastic scientific vocabulary used and brilliant discussions taking place during the lesson. All the children were excited to move onto the next investigation.
