Lesson Four – Dissolving

This science teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to conduct and record results from a scientific test to identify and observe if a range of different substances can dissolve in water.

The class can explain and model how to control a selection on variables in a fair test to record what has happened when dissolving different solids into water.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to conduct and record results from a scientific test to identify and observe if a range of different substances can dissolve in water

Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe some of the different solids that can dissolve in water, a worksheet to conduct and record results from a test about dissolving materials and a template to predict and record whether a range of different solids can dissolve in water.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to conduct and record results from a test to identify if different substances can dissolve in water.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to investigate, test and record how a range of different materials can be changed and altered including the use of dissolving and evaporation. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
