Celebration of learning!

WALT share what we have explored with our Whanau.

We're going back to Term 3! I don't know if I told you guys about this but in Term 3 like close to the end of Term 3. It was Celebration of Learning. On that day the three senior classes, Room 4, 5, and 6 decided to do like something to celebrate our Learning. I don't know what the other classes did but Room 5 was making different experiences. But first before we did all of that stuff, Mrs Lee told us to go and look some stuff out about experiences, after we did at we were learning about Acids and Bases, and Mrs Lee was teaching us this to help with our Experiments. Then we tried out Mixing a type of base with some acid but it was like really acid that could like burn you it was just like Red Cabbage. It was really cool because like the colors changed but it kinda smelt really weird.

The next day after that we tried other experiments, like one that makes like a balloon really big, one that makes a rocket with just a plastic water bottle and one that is like a volcano. Mrs Lee told us to get into groups of three or four and my teammates were Zipporah and Jorja. Then we had to discuss with our group on which experiment we wanted to do.  But first we had to try our experiment. My group decided to do the balloon one. In our Topic books we had to write what we would want to change or like what we would not change. We also had to write who brings what to do the experiment, then we had to make a poster to write like the steps, Rules, what you need and we also had to write the hypothesis and the observations.

If you want to try out this experiment here are the steps to making this balloon experiment: 1. Half fill your bottle with vinegar. 2. Add a few drops of any color food coloring. 3. Use a funnel to put in half a cup of baking soda into the balloon. 4. Put the mouth of the balloon into the mouth of the bottle. 5. Shake the baking soda into the vinegar. Wait for it to blow. 7. Stand back!

Here are the different things you will need: Vinegar, Water Bottle, Baking soda, Balloons,Food Coloring, Spoons and a Funnel.
Those are the steps, and things you will need if you want to try out this experiment!

But anyways, while we were trying out our experiments, Mrs Lee took some photos of us trying it out so here are some photos:


There are the photos!

The thing that I enjoyed was trying the experiment with my group members and like actually finding out what we changed worked or made it worse and I thing it actually made it better cause it didn't pop or anything like that.

Something that I found difficult was trying to make the balloon a little bit more bigger so then it will look really cool and like you can have a free balloon and you don't need to blow it rally big with your mouth!

My group decided to just put all the information straight on to the poster because we thought that it would be more quicker even though the other groups decided to put there ones on a slideshow first before the poster but I think everyone did a great job!

Stay tuned for more experiments!
