Year 4 Sherbet experiment

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 4 A - Mrs Carswell Year: 2021 - 2022

This week in year 4, we completed a sherbet experiment in Science. We loved being able to choose different measurement combinations to create the best sherbet. We decided that although it was really fun, in order to work scientifically we would need to measure the weight of each component not estimate. We then conducted a survey in class to find everyone’s favourite. Then we collected the data to create a chart to show the results. Our favourite sherbet recipe included 9 parts icing sugar, 2 parts citric acid and 2 parts bicarbonate. Maybe you could make your own!
