Year 2 students learnt about “water works”, watched a world’s water demonstration and made a water filter to filter dirty water.

Year 3 students learnt about “hot stuff”, watched a wine to water demonstration and made a lava lamp.

Year 4 students learnt about “material use” and watched a density column be made and discovered the non-newtonian properties of cornflour slime.

Year 5 students learnt about “matter”, performed a states of matter dance and made a volcano in a vial.
