Ms Martin's class had lots of fun celebrating Science Week in school. The children enjoyed a week full of predicting, hypothesising and investigating several cool experiments. Check out what the scientists in Room 1 discovered below.
The 'Rubber Egg' experiment taught the class about a chemical reaction between calcium in an egg shell and acid in vinegar. This reaction results in an egg becoming squishy. It was an egg-cellent finding!
The 'Dancing Raisins' experiment allowed the children to observe that raisins sink in still water, but, dance in fizzy water. They learned that this is because the carbon dioxide bubbles in fizzy water stick to the rough surface on raisins making them move up and down.
The 'What Plants Need to Grow?' experiment highlighted to the children the conditions plants need in order to grow. The boys and girls identified plants need light, warmth, water and nutrients to grow. Check out the differences in the growth below!
