FUN FRIDAY SCIENCE




Every Friday R9 are having fun in science. These are some of the things we have done. We poured warm water into freezing cold dry ice then it steamed up so fast and so hight it was unbelievable! Sterling came round and put food colouring and dishwashing liquid in. When he put the liquid in it started bubbling up like a corn cob. You could catch it in little cups. And so fun! 
Another thing we did was Rockets. We made paper rockets to see how far they could fly. We also did, another day of pa
per rockets. Last Friday we made them. We tested them by putting them on a pipe. H
e pushed a pump and button thing and then it went flying. Arlo, Liam and Jack won out of the class. They won cos' theirs went the furtherest.  This friday that I'm talking about we tested them at lunch time to see which class had made the best one. Room 9 didn't win. It was another class. You will hear about them more in the next part of the true story. 
 Today at lunch the science man tested the rockets on the wooden platform. I saw one and it went really high but it didn't come back. It went over the school fence in pieces!  Sterling the science man did his one and it went real far over 
the fence.   
Today we did electricity. He threw party popper confetti over the table. Then he got a pipe and started rubbing it with some kind of rag. When he took it off he waved it over the table and the paper bits attached to the pipe. That was called static electricity.
Then we did these little set circuits but we couldn't get ours to work. Some people made electricity out of lemons, some just used wires. Some used a battery, another had some kind of light and Melanie's had cars. we had the radio that didn't work. We can't wait for next week!
