This term, our Grade 7 students have been diving into the interesting unit of chemistry. Students have been learning about the states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas and how substances can change state through heating and cooling.

They’ve also explored mixtures and how they can be separated using clever techniques like filtration, evaporation, and chromatography.

With hands-on experiments, our students are discovering how chemistry helps us understand the world around us. To conclude the unit, students have conducted an experiment to separate a mixture of sand, salt and iron.

In our following unit, we will be moving into Earth and Space, exploring the moons phases, the tides, and the four seasons.
