Year 8 Science Experiment

Year 8 were given the task of designing a practical lesson to investigate how salt alters the boiling point of water.

They applied their knowledge of variables to plan a robust and reliable experiment in which they used Bunsen burners, scales, thermometers and a range of glassware. The experiment also enabled them to consolidate their knowledge of pure and impure substances as well as elements, compounds, molecules and mixtures.
