This week is Science Week – there were lots of investigations and experiments going on in all the classrooms! As well as being great fun, we were using lots of Science skills – we were planning, predicting, making, observing, measuring, investigating, questioning, recording, analysing, and evaluating!
The Junior Room mixed bread soda and vinegar to making dancing raisins and explored diffusion with skittles.
1st and 2nd Class explored forces, investigating how different objects moved on a ramp, changing the height and surface of the ramp and comparing this with their original results. They also made a lava lamp – they discovered that oil and water do not mix!
3rd and 4th Class focused on the topic of Colour for Science Week. They enjoyed investigating capillary action, chemical reactions and mixing colours.
5th and 6th Class had dancing raisins, volcanoes, slime, lava lamps and bouncy eggs in their room! They also completed a Marble Run challenge – they had to design and make a marble run.
To finish off our Science celebrations, we are looking forward to a visit from Dr. Naomi Lavelle of Dr. How’s Science Wows next week when she comes to visit with The Eccentric Energy Show!
