Watercare

Water, water everywhere! On Friday of week 6, we were lucky to have Sally from Watercare come to teach us more about the water.  We did a drama activity and experiments. Firstly we examined the process that water goes through to become drinkable water in our households.  Our drama was based on the process that the water goes through to be cleaned. We were the water going through each stage. We had so much fun as we ventured around the school.  Once we learnt how water is cleaned we then had to try and clean the dirty water ourselves. We had to create a filter system in partners. We had to do four different tests for our experiments.  We experimented with a range of filters to try and test which filter system was the best.
Here are some pictures:

Science in a Van

On Friday science in a van came to visit and show us some experiments. The first thing we did was some balance experiments. They got three people up Ms Evans, Riley and Olivia and they did a balance experiment each. Some things were easier to balance then other things. Then we did some learning on the periodic table and the three states of matter. We did a demonstrastion with some students. When they were a solid they were huddled together, when they liquid moving but still attaching and when they were a gas they where dancing all over the room. Then they put some dry ice in a container as to show us what not to do because it flew to the other side of the stage. It was a very enjoyable experience for all of us.
