KS SCIENCE DAY
On
Wednesday 14th August K - 2 had a ‘Science Day’. This
involved infant’s children experiencing a variety of science experiments
throughout the school.
It was a
very successful day and we all had lots of fun. The photos below depict the
experiments that took place in KS.
The first sequence of photos shows an
experiment, which demonstrates the effect of an acid indicator, (or as the
children labelled it ‘Magic Rainbow Water’). We added
an acid indicator (ice cubes of boiled red cabbage water) to 3 glasses: I
contained lemonade, 1 had bi-carb soda and water and
1 had plain water. When we added the ice cubes each glass of liquid turned a
different colour - it really was magic!
The
following photos show the experiment, which produces the ‘magic balloon in the
bottle’. Initially we had to heat the bottle, then put a balloon over the lip
of the bottle and place it in a cold bucket of water.
We thought the balloon was going to blow up and
even burst but instead we got a surprise as the balloon was sucked right into
the bottle!
HOLIDAYS
The children
have been working on their story writing in KS. Some children have written
about their recent holidays, while others were impressed by the reptile show
"Snake Tails" and have reflected on this.
Enjoy!
