As part of our water topic we designed, drew and painted different parts of a coral reef. After researching animals that live in a coral reef we drew, painted and coloured our sketches. Finally we put it all together and made our magnificent collage๐๐
We investigated what substances dissolved in water. We experimented with sand, coffee, salt and sugar.
Results sand didn’t dissolve
Sugar, salt and coffee dissolved best in warm water๐
After designing, making and painting our Rathlin Island lighthouses, we decided to light a bulb at the top.
We used bulb holders, bulbs, wires and an AA battery. Working together as a group made it easier to light ๐ก
Filtering dirty water experiment
We predicted then tested which material was best at cleaning dirty water.
The best material was a paper towel from the classroom.
It still wasn’t clean enough to drink!๐งโ๏ธ๐ซ
