In science this term, we have been looking at the different ways an everyday object can be changed and if it can go back to exactly how it was originally.
Yesterday, we tested our thinking with bread and chocolate..
What are some ways that things can be changed in the kitchen?
Monique – we can put something new
Williams – we can make the table a different colour
Sam – you can change a food buy cutting it up
Emily – you can cook pasta, first it was hard and then it gets soft.
Catharen – when you’re making chicken nuggets, you put them in the oven and if they get too hot they get burned.
Aisha – you put stuff in the oven and it gets hot
Senay – you can change food by eating it
Liya – you can change noodles into making them wiggly
Arnav – you can burn pasta and it will be hot.
Ali – when you are making a cup of tea you have to make the water hot.
Tri – when you cook the pasta its hard and then it gets soft.
Isla – when you put stuff in the fridge it gets cold.
Laura – when you cook some noodles it turns from hard to soft.
Angelo – when you’re doing science, you put the stuff you made in the fridge. It gets cold on there.
Williams – if you make something too hot you can put some water and leave it there and it will cool off. Or you can put it in the freezer and wait.
Mary – when you buy ice cream and you leave it outside for 20mins it will melt. When you open it it will be like water and you can drink it.
Azaan – you can eat and change it.
McKayla – cooking something.
Campbell – you can cook it.
Owen – when you eat pasta and you cook it it will get hot and then you can eat it and it wont be hard.
How did you change your materials?
Kevin – I rubbed the chocolate together and it melted. I can’t change it back.
Campbell – we put holes in the bread. You can’t go back.
Monique – we broke the chocolate in pieces. We put it back like a puzzle.
Sam – Ali and I put it behind the fridge and Ali’s hands were so warm that it melted the chocolate. You can’t change the chocolate back.
Tri – I broke it into pieces and then I scrubbed it to melt. It was quick.
Layla – I broke the chocolate and I couldn’t put it back.
Abhay – We ripped the bread, we couldn’t put it back together.
Angelo – we ripped the bread and put the chocolate on top. It can’t change back.
Senay – you can rip the bread and you can put it back by squishing it. It’s not exactly the same after.
Liya – I broke my chocolate and Naomi was scraping hers.
Shruti – we broke the chocolate into half.
Callie – we also broke the chocolate but we tried to melt it.
McKayla – I melted it. Isla – it can’t go back.
Arnav – we melted it. Braiden – chocolate can go back, you give it enough time in a cold place. It might be in a different shape.
