Seperation Experiment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi πŸ˜€

On Wednesday we did a science experiment. we were separating stones, rice, sand and salt πŸ™‚ .

We did another experiment again on Monday where we were seeing what things dissolved but im not gonna blog about that yet.

We were working in partners and a group of 3. Me and my partner, Erin, took out the stones first and dusted them with a paintbrush. We took our the rice and started by hand but then separated it a faster way i totally didn’t forget about. (UPDATE- Erin reminded me it was the sieve)
Then we washed the rice and put it in the rice tube. The first few were dusted but then we started washing them. the sieve was a wierd type of sieve which put black stuff in it we got out as well.
After this, we put the sandy salty stuff in a funnel going down to a long plastic tube thingy with filter paper in ti and lots of water. We did this for a while until all the salty water was at the bottom. We had to use two tubes.
We didnt have time to evaporate it at the end but some did and the salt was left over so it worked.Β 

Bye πŸ˜€

NEWS ROUND BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi its …………………..

Erin πŸ™‚Β 

..and I’m withΒ  YasminΒ and Skye! πŸ™‚Β  Β 

Today we were watching newsround, and we’re going to tell you about one of the stories!!!! πŸ˜€Β Β 

The story we are telling you is about a man who is staying, under water for 100Β  days, and he is also teaching online classes and some young people will come swim and see him. It’s for an experiment, to see what we would be like living under water.Β 

I think, it’s really cool, sounds fun, and a challenge. I wonder how he gets shopping and clean water?

It looks fun, but how can he get food and internet?

It sounds like a fun exciting thing to do, πŸ™‚ but it might get a bit lonely if you are by yourself.Β  πŸ™Β Β 

Bye bye bye πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚Β

Upstairs was the room we had lunch and snacks in, gas masks, ww2 kitchen, ww2 uniforms, and evacuee clothes.
Outside was a shelter that we managed to fit the class into and a train called Sir James we could go into 4 at a time.
