Science Week!!
Science week was a huge success and all the classes really enjoyed it. We started preparing for it the week before. This was when we picked what experiments we were going to do. The science fair was rapidly approaching. The next day we told Ms. Moran our ideas and she seemed really impressed. The following day whoever brought in the things they needed got to do it in front of the whole class. Thursday everyone had everything they needed so we went through the whole thing during class. Finally the big day had arrived and the minute the bell rang at 8:50, we started to get everything set up. We boiled kettles under adult supervision, got food colouring and started getting our experiments ready. Everyone was really excited.
The first group of classes started arriving at 9:30. Our opening act was called the four chair challenge. This demonstrated balance and spreading the weight. This experiment was followed by, does hot water and cold water mix if the hot waters on top, how to blow up a balloon with lemon juice/vinegar, how much pressure does it take to pop a balloon, can I lift this bottle of coke filled with rice with a skewer and plastic milk. This was only some of the amazing experiments done. 6th class really enjoyed organising the science fair and hope that all classes enjoyed it.
A few more pictures from Science Week! Well done to all of the 6th class children. It was great to see all their hard work pay off!
