- “What would happen if we used Coke instead of water?”
- “What would happen if we used card instead of kitchen roll?”
- “What would happen if we used cold hot chocolate instead of water?”
- “What would happen if we used lemonade?”
- “What would happen if we used melted chocolate?”
- “What would happen if we put our cups in a line?”
LO: To make predictions and perform a test.
Firstly, we predicted what would happen giving reasons to justify our opinion. For example:
- “I think the kitchen roll will disappear and dissolve because Coke is fizzy.” – Phoebe
- “I think the kitchen roll will go brown because the cold hot chocolate is brown.” – Emma
- “I think the water won’t go into the other cup because card is heavier than kitchen roll.” – Noah
We took safe risks as we had no idea what would happen.
Next, we set up our experiments according to our plans and by remembering whose role was whose.
It was important to be responsible and work well within our teams.
We had to be ready to record observations at certain points in the day.
There was progress in some…
… but less so in others!
Either way, we reflected on our experiments at the end of the day by describing what went well and what we would change for next time.
