6H Science - January 2020

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 6N Year: 2019 - 2020

Year 6 carried out an experiment today, to understand the process of diffusion and osmosis.

The children added water to Jelly Sweets and recorded as the size of the sweets increased. The children understood that once broken down, the nutrients within food is absorbed through the walls of our intestines into the blood in a process called diffusion. Water doesn’t need breaking down, it simply moves between membranes in the body to arrive in the correct place, again via our blood through a diffusion process called osmosis.
