The Senior Team have been learning about elements, mixtures and compounds in Science with Mrs Pearce this term.

We began by exploring the building blocks of matter – elements. We covered the periodic table and element properties using visual aids and hands on equipment.

Moving forward, we embarked on an exploration of mixtures, where students learned about the fascinating ways in which different substances can be combined while retaining their individual properties. We had a go at separating mixtures using a variety of methods such as magnetism and decanting.

Students delved deeper into the realm of chemical bonding and molecular structures when looking at compounds. We were able to use molecule models to deepen our understanding.
