STEM Week: Wednesday 13th March

Today P1 were very busy learning about sound. We worked in our STEM groups to make our own musical instruments.

We also carried out an investigation to see what would happen to gummy bears in various solutions: water, salt water, vinegar water and baking soda water. We discovered that the bear shrunk in salt water, grew the most in vinegar water and, by the end of the day, almost all the bears had started to dissolve and disintegrate! This prompted a lot of discussion and we enjoyed using the magnifying glasses to track progress throughout the day.
