Getting stuck in with science!

This term we are learning all about materials, their properties and how they react when mixed together. We spent an afternoon working together and investigating different ways to separate dry mixed materials. We found some of the items considerably easier to extract than others… especially as we were not supposed to be using our bare hands to separate any of it!
