Plants



We have been growing our own seeds in Room 5. We predicted that grass seed would grow fastest. The snow peas have grown the quickest. Check out our seedlings...they are ready to go into our gardens at home!

Rocket Blast Off!!


Today we made our Rocket blast off.
Inside the rocket we put vinegar and baking soda. They reacted together creating a gas called CO2.
The pressure inside the rocket built up and made the rocket blast off it's stand and high into the air!

Light



Today we were experimenting with light!
We made a simple circuit using wires, batteries and bulbs.






We made our own sunset shining a torch through milky water.
The particles in the milk scatter the light, however orange and red colours scatter the least and shine through. This is why we see these colours in a sunrise or sunset!
