Materials Can Change

Welcome to Ella and Maia to Room 5 this week.

Over the last few weeks we have focused on this concept for our inquiry.

Materials can be changed by applying different processes

Last week we looked at how water can change when we heat or freeze it. We discovered that water can turn into steam or ice and that it can has a temporary change.

We saw that tea is a permanent change.

This week, based on Sophia's suggestion, we inquired into paint.

Our question was, If we mix paint can it change back?

We first mixed red and white to make pink.

Our prediction was that we could turn it back to red paint if we added lots of red to it again.

In the end, we decided that mixing paint creates a permanent change as we couldn't make it turn red again.

We mixed white and red paint.

We mixed them and it made pink.

We added more red paint to change it back to red.

We kept adding more red paint but it didn't go back to red.
It was a permanent change.
