Chemical Changes And Conversation Mapping

For the last part of this term we will be investigating some material changes. When we first discussed the science-based inquiry theme for this term, as is usually the case, many children thought of blowing things up.

This week we have had some discussions around chemical changes in groups. Those conversations were mapped and we were able to not only reflect on the content of our discussions, but also our behaviours and the environment we had created.

Some interesting questions were raised, so we may conduct a couple of experiments over the next week or two (trying to keep explosions to a minimum).

  2. When we did that I learned about diffrent chemical changes because when everyone was saring their ideas, I thought doing that was a great idea!!!!!!!
