Experimenting with liquids, solids and gases.


Wednesday the 4th of August

How to get solids from a liquid.
Today Mrs Dunbar dissolved salt into hot water and stirred it around until all the salt was gone. Then she boiled up the liquid in a kettle. Soon the vapour came out as steam and hit the ceiling. The water in the jug went down and left the salt behind. We think that because the salt is a solid it is too heavy to float up with the water vapour.
