The boy's were challenged with extracting salt from rock and used a process of dissolving, heating, filtering and evaporation to obtain their salt crystals. All boys worked extremely well at this task and as you can see from the pictures thoroughly enjoyed learning how to use Bunsen burners safely.

All at CCSB science department look forward to welcoming these young scientists in the future.

Here's what the boys said!
