SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS/CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALS/EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTORS/RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS
What a busy week the Snowdrops have had with all our exciting science activities.
We made balloons inflate by mixing water and bicarbonate of soda in a bottle with a balloon attached at the top. It was amazing!
We also made the coloured coating of Skittles dissolve in water when we poured water over them. It was so colourful and pretty!
We were amazed to see that raisins can move and dance. When we added raisins to still water, they sunk to the bottom but when we put them in a cup of fizzy water they moved up and down.
The Snowdrops also learned why it is so important to wash our hands. We did an experiment and used pepper as pretend germs. When we put our fingers in the plate of water and pepper, the ‘germs’ stuck to our fingers but when we put soap on our fingers, the ‘germs’ (pepper) moved away from our fingers.
Lastly, we made our own cress heads and learned about what plants need in order to grow. We enjoyed feeling the compost, watering our cress seeds and making our cress head faces!
