This week we have continued our Muck, Mess and Mixtures topic.

In class we have been exploring how water mixes with different materials.

We found out that salt dissolves in water, oil and water separate, squash becomes diluted in water and flour makes water get thicker.

The children loved playing with the materials and observing the changes before them.

Ask your child to explain what they were doing using their new vocabulary! Also see what other materials in your house might change in water.

Does sugar dissolve in water? Does lemonade dilute in water?
