Our Science experiments

A couple of weeks ago our teacher brought in this book no one knew what it was, she opened and her face lit up then she told us "it's a Science book" we all screamed and cheered and now this week on Friday (19th of November) we got to choose some of our very own experiments. We got into groups and she called us up 1 by 1 after everyone chose we had to plan and prepare, The experiments we chose were: a "Fizzy Fruit Drink" which all it is is baking soda, an orange, sugar and a glass, once I make it I'll tell you how to, and the second is "Baked Ice-Cream", now I don't really know how this works but once again when I make it I'll tell YOU how to. And finally the book that our teacher is called: 501 SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS if you see this I recommend this book for ages maybe 8+ ,it is really fun and really you only need little bits of ingredients to make so if you see BUY...Thanks for reading, signing out iGlork!!!

Coke and Mentos experiment!!!

Friday last week, we did a coke and mentos's volcano. We had to plan everything, here are the steps for what MY group did: Step 1: We had to plan and think of what we were doing, like what we were going to use, how we are going to use it and and where was the best place Step 2: we made all our designs we wrote on the paper what we did first was rolled up a piece of paper and made sure there was a big side and little side so that the little bit could fit over the coke lid and then got two tooth picks and poked them through the paper (so it would hold the mentos's when we put them in) and then Step 3: we got ready and then we went out to go check what place we were going to do it in (in front of the playground) then Step 4: we pulled the 2 tooth picks out and let it rip!!! it didn't really work out how everyone would expect it to, when we pulled them out they got jammed when we pulled the paper away the ones that got stuck flew onto the floor and then only about 2-3 got in (even though 2 or 3 got in it made a pretty big explosion, well for me anyway)...Thanks for reading signing out iGlork

Just read!!

Just Read is a new program we are doing in class, we have heaps of activities to do (which are really fun) some of the activities that we do are: Computer Reading is, we search up some interesting facts on that topic that you chose and you CAN write it in your reading book, another is: Plays, which you can choose to go up to our resource room where all our books are and get a book from there OR just choose a book from a box in our classroom and do a play from there and here is one more: MSSR, which is my favorite and all you have to do for that is READ (which I think the R stands for at the end of MSSR) so there you go here are some of the reading things we do in class...Thanks for Reading signing out iGlork!!
