English – The Alchemist’s LetterThis week all of our English is going to be based on the short film clip, The Alchemist’s Letter https://www.literacyshed.com/the-alchemists-letter.html

An alchemist is a person who transforms or creates something through a seemingly magical process.

In this film a story is told about a machine that could turn any metal into gold. To power the device the alchemist fed it his own memories. He had a family but in his quest for gold he abandoned them.After the alchemist's death the son returns home to the house he once knew as a child he finds the device along with a letter from his father, as the letter is read the machine begins working…

Watch the film using the above link – think about the

answers to the questions on the next slide. You do not

need to write them down just discuss/consider.

• When & where do you think the story is set?

• What does the word ‘precious’ mean?

• What are the alchemist’s precious memories? (There are 4)

Science• This week we would like you to investigate dissolving.

Science – DissolvingIf you would like to you can work further through the slides and develop a dissolving investigation of your own. You will need to think of a question such as:• Does the number of stirs affect how much of the solid dissolves?• Does the temperature of the water affect how much of the solid dissolves?• Does the amount of the solid affect how much of it dissolves?Remember to think about your variables:• Independent variable is the thing you will change e.g. the number of stirs, the

temperature of the water, the amount of the solid• Dependent variable is the thing that is affected by your variable & is what you will

be measuring/observing e.g. how much of the solid dissolves• Controlled variables are those things that stay the same e.g. the solid you are

dissolving, the containers you are using, the liquid you are usingRecord your findings and what you have concluded from your investigation. Share with us on DOJOGood luck
