Science with Party Poppers
Today we used all our scientist skills to try and find out how party poppers work. We dismantled a popper to see how it was constructed. The tiny streamers were tightly rolled and fitted [...]
Ice Babies
We investigated what makes ice melt the quickest and discovered that immersing ice in water is by far the quickest. That's why we put our frozen milk in water to thaw it![youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW9r1N_Sars[/youtube]
The Taste Test
We chose a Kool Fruit lolly and tested what it tastes like. We first of all dried our tongues with a tissue and kept it out of our mouths before placing a lolly on our [...]
All about Magnets
We investigated the strength of different magnets today by finding out how many paper clips the magnets could pick up. There were four different types of magnets we used. Most of the magnets [...]
Bread tag Racing Boats
We turned bread tags into racing boats in our science investigation this week. We carefully floated a bread tag on the surface of the water in a desk tray. Then we dropped a [...]
Making Sherbet
Today we investigated what would happen when we mixed a base and an acid. We mixed citric acid and bicarbonate of soda with some icing sugar. When we mixed the powders together and put it [...]
Dancing Raisins
In science we observed what happened when we put raisins in a glass of different liquids. The first mixture was water with bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. The second liquid was a glass of [...]
Static electricity with balloons
Room 5 have been exploring with balloons again. We rubbed balloons on different materials and found we can get different reactions. The balloons made our hair stand up. We could pick up tissues. The [...]
Investigating Potato Crisps
Today we investigated potato crisps and rice crackers. We used our senses to work and think like scientists. We checked out the nutritional information on the packets and discovered that crisps had more than 30 [...]
Science with Balloons
On Thursday we had a great day playing and learning with balloons. We are learning to think and work like scientists. We know we need to observe things by using all our senses. We know [...]
