Year 6 get a little hot under the collar

6S were working with their Bunsen burners in the lab this morning
They heated a variety of substances and looked for physical and chemical changes 
 first was ice
ice, ice, baby 
to water and steam (physical change)
then paper 
which burned (definitely chemical)
Tin foil was interesting 
 it depended how hot it was and whether it could react with oxygen from the air
 when hot enough it was a chemical change
but at lower temperatures it only changed physically 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Finally wood and another definite chemical change 
Some very good observations were made today
