Is there too much air in chip packets? - Year 5 CLE
This downloadable resource explores the properties of gases and liquids.
The resource is a Connected Learning Experience in which the students not only explore the properties of gases and liquids but also follow instructions to predict the effect of changing a variable when planning an investigation. They will use equipment in safe ways and improve the accuracy of their results. Students will construct a table to organise data. They will compare their data with their predictions and describe the fairness of the investigation.
This CLE is aimed at enhancing a unit already being taught on the properties of solids, liquids and gases.
Learning intentions
Students will be able to:
- suggest explanations for the observed properties of gases;
- identify when science is used to ask questions and make predictions;
- discuss ways to conduct investigations and safely use equipment to make and record observations;
- use tables to organise their data and identify patterns in data;
- suggest explanations for observations and compare their findings with their predictions;
- suggest reasons why their methods were fair or not; and
- complete simple reports to communicate their methods and findings.
