In Science, Year 5 have been investigating reversible and irreversible changes. Initially the children had to decide whether a mixture of muesli could be reversed or not. Once the children decided it could, they manually sorted the constituent parts to show it was a reversible change.
The children were then tasked with setting up an investigation to separate a mixture of either flour and rice, or sand and salt. They discussed methods of sieving, filtering and evaporation and made predictions on which method they thought would show a reversible change. After conducting their experiments, the children wrote conclusions on their findings.
