 * __Independent Task - Week 1__**

1. Students are to brainstorm where they would find science in the world around them.

2. Draw what you think a scientist looks like.

3. In books, students are to answer ‘Why is it important that we follow set processes and structures in science.’


 * __Independent Task Week 2__**

1. Complete the solubility experiment.

You need to make careful observations and write them down carefully. STEP 1 - Half fill a beaker with COLD water. STEP 2 - Drop a teaspoon of salt into one of the beakers. Time how long it takes to dissolve - with stirring - without stirring Record your results. STEP 3 - Repeat steps 1 and 2 with Sugar, washing powder, sand and instant tea. STEP 4 - Repeat the experiment this time using warm (NOT HOT) water.

2. Complete the experiment plan.

3. Answer the questions found at the bottom of the Solubility experiment sheet.


 * __ Independent Task Week 4 __**

Select which investigation planning sheet you would like to use and plan your 'Chemical Reaction In A Bag' experiment plan.

Below are the steps you will need to follow and the materials you will need:

Purpose: To observe a chemical reaction and make careful notes.

Materials: Salt (Calcium Chloride) Baking Soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) Indicator (phenol red or bromthymol blue are the best) Sandwich Bag (regular and zip lock) Spatula or a Plastic Spoon 10 ml cylinders

Procedure: 1. Put 2 scoops of road salt and 1 scoop of baking soda into a ziplock bag

2. In another bag (NOT ZIPLOCK) put 10 ml of indicator.

3. Place the bag containing indicator inside the ziplock bag with salt and soda. Make sure the indicator bag is completely stuffed into the ziplock bag.

4. Carefully squeeze all the air out of the ziplock bag.

5. Zip the top of the ziplock bag.

6. Invert the bag so that all the contents of both bags combine. **Watch and make your observations!

Here are the observations you can look for. These may include mass (size) changes, colour changes, temperature of the materials, sounds, and any other changes you may see. **
