Room 1 are learning about practical science. We have been exploring some of the equipment that scientists need to carry out their experiments.
Here is the equipment we gathered to carry out an experiment about bubbles.
Each member of the group takes their turn at doing part of the experiment. The colours on our badges help us to work out when it is our turn.
In our groups we compared corn kernels, raisins and craisins.
Joe discovered that when you put corn kernels in water they just sink to the bottom.
Nothing much happened!
When we put them in the lemonade they floated up to the top and then sunk back down again. They moved all over the place. We thought that the bubbles in the lemonade stuck to the raisins and craisins and made them move up and down.
In our 2nd experiment we mixed yeast and hydrogen peroxide. Here is Allie adding red food colouring. We did this experiment together because Mrs Bargh had to hold the hydrogen peroxide. Warren likes saying these words!
Charlotte said she could see bubbles and foam. It looked like a really big bubble bath.
Just as well we had a big baking dish to collect all the bubbles because they whooshed out over the side.
In Visual Art we made bubble pictures by painting on to bubble wrap. We then pressed the paint onto paper.
Come and read about our bubble experiments in our 'Inquiry scrapbook.'
