Science Week

We have been having fun with Science Week .

See what we have been up to.

Guess who was an Easter Bunny last Term ?

Can you guess who this Easter Bunny is ? He had a very important job to do on the last day of Term 1!

Ted is a Scientist

Today Ted brought in his cornstarch and water mixture in a plastic bag. He explained how the molecules are oblong shaped and will only slide past each other slowly. The liquid is called a non Newtonian fluid
We squeezed the bag and the liquid became like a solid. It felt like sand being washed away by the sea!

Watch this to see some fun with this liquid!

Changing States

Our new topic is a science one called Changing States. We are going to be scientists making investigations, asking questions and collecting data learning about solids, liquids and gases.

                                          milk with vinegar

                                          milk with Red Bull

                                          After 40 minutes ...
Today we started by mixing Red Bull drink  and vinegar into milk. Red Bull and vinegar are acids. 
They caused the milk to curdle and the protein called casein to separate.  The milk became thick  on the top and looked frothy.

Today we concentrated on using our observational skills and predicting what might happen.

Welcome Back to Term 2

Would you believe that our first day back for the new term was a wet one? Look at what a group of students made with the magnetix. It was amazing !
