The children had a fantastic time using microscopes to observe individual particles of salt and coffee.

They worked in groups, making observations about what happened to the particles when adding  water to them. 

In the afternoon, the children carried out an investigation to find out what black ink is composed of. The children used the process of chromatography to carry out this experiment. They also looked at other coloured inks.
