Since the beginning of week 3 we have been following an Inquiry process to find out what a number of scientific concepts mean. One of the first was to look at different liquids and to work out why some liquids fell to the bottom of a container while others floated to the top, or remained in the middle of the container. The objective of this Inquiry was to establish what density meant.
Questions asked were:
a) What do we already know about the liquids we are using in this experiment?
b) Knowing this about the liquids we are using, what is our hypothesis?
c) What must we do to create a Fair Test?
d) If we measure 50mls of each liquid and place it in a beaker, can we predict what will happen?
e) How will we make sure that our recordings are accurate?
f) Observing the process, can we conclude what has happened?
The slideshow will take you on a short journey through our Inquiry process. The children having completed this part of the process still have questions they want to answer. We will share the results of this work with you next week. In the meantime, enjoy watching the slideshow.
