The young experimenters took a hands-on approach to investigate how everyday substances interact when mixed with water. Armed with a selection of materials—including sand, sugar, flour, food colouring and tea leaves, the students set out to test which substances would dissolve to form a solution and which would leave behind solid remnants. The class discovered that sugar dissolved seamlessly, turning the water into a sweet solution, while sand and tea leaves refused to disappear, leaving solid particles floating in the liquid. Flour created a cloudy suspension, and the food colouring added colour, yet still remained a true solution. The lesson was a fun, hands-on experience and the experiments helped Year 5 to understand the differences between mixtures and solutions. --- ### Year 5 Science Lesson [![](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2629.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2629.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2633.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2633.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2635.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2635.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2636.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2636.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2639.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2639.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2640.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2640.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2641.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/images/gallery/year-5-science-lesson/IMG_2641.JPG) [ Year 6 Trip to RAF Burtonwood Heritage Centre](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/news/2024-09-25-year-6-trip-to-raf-burtonwood-heritage-centre) [Forest School - 'Willow Wood' ](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/news/2024-10-02-forest-school-willow-wood) ### Our School - [Welcome from our Headteacher](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/welcome-from-our-headteacher) - [About our School](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/about-our-school) - [Our News](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/news) - [Values, Vision and Mission Statement](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/values-vision-missionstatement) - [Open Events](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/open-events) - [Virtual Tour](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/virtual-tour) - [Our Staff](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/staff) - [Admissions](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Governance](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/governors) - [School Prospectus](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/school-prospectus) - [Policies and Reports](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/policies) - [School Performance Data](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/school-performance-data) - [Ofsted and Academic Results](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/Ofsted-and-Academic-Results) - [The Equality Act](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/student-support/the-equality-act) - [Work for Us](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/our-school/work-for-us1) - [Omega MAT](https://omegamat.co.uk/) - [Contact Us](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/contact) ![Burtonwood Community Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/burtonwood-community-primary-school/images/logo/Omega_Part_of_Logo_White_Mono.png) **Burtonwood Community Primary School** Green Lane Burtonwood Warrington WA5 4AQ Tel: 01925 224072 Email: ## Follow Us - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090550038773&locale=en_GB) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/burtonwoodcps) ## Translation © Copyright 2020–2026 Burtonwood Community Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://burtonwoodcp.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) Update cookies preferences
