Hello we are Team Einstein, from the best class Room 1. This term for inquiry we are focusing on 'Science/& What matter means' The people in my group are Akosita & Sulieti, we are all from Room 1. We have been looking at "If we can separate a Mixture  of Iron filings,  Sand & Raro" In Room 1, 6 students said YES  we can separate the mixture of substances & 7 students said NO  that we can not separate the mixture of substances. We have also been looking at Vocabulary and here are the vocabulary that we are focusing on, Mixture, Physical, Change, Substance & Properties.
