Lesson 1
How can we separate river water into different substances?
This week, will be start by using some of the knowledge we have gained over the last two weeks to think about how clean water can be separated from dirty river water. Lots of our water really does come from rivers – Severn Trent Water have Water Treatment plants along the Severn River.

Please DO NOT gather river water to do this yourself. Perhaps you could make some mixed dirty water by gathering a little mud, some leaves and a few stones from the garden. Alternatively, you could just watch Miss Couves demonstrate…

Lesson 2
This lesson looks again at solids, liquids and gases. It does revise some of the ideas we looked at last week, but it is NOT the same lesson. This time we are thinking about how they behave. (This does not mean whether they are good or naughty!)
Again you do not have to do any of the practical work Miss Simkin demonstrates but most things can be done in your own kitchen if you want to investigate for yourself. ALWAYS make sure you check with parents before doing any investigations. You could share your pictures on our Teams files, so everyone in the class can see!
