They created model alloys using Play-Doh as the base material. By adding different additives like sand and salt, they explored how these changes affected the properties of their “alloys.” It was a hands-on experiment that helped them understand the concept of alloys and how various elements can alter their characteristics. The students had a blast mixing and observing the transformations! ### Y5 Making an Alloy [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0888.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0888.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0889.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0889.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0890.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0890.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0891.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0891.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0892.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0892.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0893.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0893.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0894.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0894.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0895.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0895.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0896.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0896.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0897.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0897.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0898.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0898.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0899.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0899.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0900.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0900.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0901.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0901.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0908.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-making-an-alloy/DSCF0908.JPG) [Year 5](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-5) [Science](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/science) [Science](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/citag/science) [KS2](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/citag/ks2) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_2233.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2024-10-10-15-41-00-y2-science-experiment) Previous ### [Y2 - Science experiment](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2024-10-10-15-41-00-y2-science-experiment) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_5079%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2024-10-11-15-38-00-music) Next ### [Music](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2024-10-11-15-38-00-music) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
