This week Lower I have been learning new skills and key scientific vocabulary. As part of their Rocks and Soils topic, students investigated the permeability of different rocks.

Rocks can either be permeable (lets water through) or impermeable (does not let water through). After close observations they discovered that pumice, sandstone and chalk were permeable. But, slate and granite were impermeable.

All students enjoyed learning how to correctly use a pipette and the importance of close observations.
