Urenco – ‘Sorting Things’ Science Workshop

This morning, Year 5 have had an amazing time participating in an exciting science workshop. Our visitor from Urenco, provided children with the opportunity to investigate sorting materials by conducting various experiments. Year 5 were able to gain a deeper understanding of working scientifically, safely and methodically to achieve their results. Children were able to scientifically investigate:

1. Separating salt, lentils and paste using a sieve.
2. Observing ‘identical’ substances to look for subtle differences.
3. Sorting these substances into acid, alkali or neutral using an indicator.
4. Separating pigments in ink using chromatography.
5. Separating lettuce and water using a salad spinner (a centrifuge) and comparing this with the use of an actual centrifuge to separate out salad cream.

Well done Year 5 for your excellent participation and enthusiasm. Martin from Urenco was very impressed!
