Part 2: Interactive Lessons

Science with Mr Round and the Year 10 Prefects

Good morning Year 6! Welcome to your Science lesson today which will be taught by Mr Round. You should have received the following equipment from Penrice Academy:

  • Skittles – yum!
  • A pipette
  • A tray to hold samples
  • Strips of filter paper
  • A beaker

The lesson will start with an introductory activity followed by an explanation of chromatography. You will then perform your own chromatography in order to find out which colour skittle contains more than one food colouring.
 

 
We hope you enjoyed your Science lesson and found out which colour skittle was the culprit. Before we go, just for fun, we’d like to share with you some of the experiments you can expect to witness and partake in during your 5 years at Penrice. Enjoy!
