Squash

We had the opportunity to learn to play squash in week 7. Here are some of our pictures from the week.

Volcano project highlights

We have been learning about Physical and chemical changes. We conducted an experiment using baking soda and vinegar to illustrate a chemical change. A chemical change is a change that is nearly impossible to reverse. We used volcanoes as a fun way of showing this chemical reaction. Real volcanoes have similar processes to what we observed, but using many more chemicals. 

Making Volcanoes

Room 5 have been learning about Volcanoes. The next logical step was to make some! We have been following the technology learning goals of creating a design, a prototype, and a model to specifications. We have also been learning about chemical and physical changes and have designed some experiments to vary the way our volcanoes behave. We can't wait to blow them up of Friday!
