Year 5 Exploring Reversible Changes
Year 5 had a fantastic time exploring reversible changes through a delicious scientific investigation. The children poured milk into a sealed bag and placed it inside a larger bag filled with ice and salt. After lots of shaking and teamwork, they observed the liquid milk change into a solid, creating ice cream! The children then watched as the ice cream slowly melted, turning from a solid back into a liquid, helping them understand how some changes can be reversed.
