04 Feb What’s been happening in Year 5 – week 5
Year 5 conducted a science investigation all about evaporation. We made real-life links and answered the scientific question, which we created as a class, ‘In what location in the classrooms will my tea towels dry the quickest?’ . We conducted a fair test by measuring an accurate amount of water using a syringe. We placed paper towels in different locations in the classroom and recorded what the paper towels looked like after a certain amount of time. We found that the evaporation happened at the quickest rate on the radiator, which is probably because it was the warmest location.
