Natural Disasters

We have learned so much about Natural Disasters and now want to share it with you.  Sian D & Sophia

Gary:  There are more than five types of natural disasters

Darcie:  We know what causes natural disasters

Toby:  Tsunamis are huge waves that can kill thousands of people

We used iPads to research the type of natural disaster we wanted to find out more about then we created a fact file

It was so much fun – Robyn

I had lots of fun learning about Tsunamis – Toby

Bird Feeders

photo 2 01Having learnt all about the birds in our school grounds we chose to create our very own bird feeders using recycled materials.  As this was a Homework task the design took place in class and the creation took place at home.

photo 1 01Mrs Wightman was very impressed with our ideas and loved every feeder.  We will choose some to put outside soon and keep the others to be put outside in the winter.

Volcanic Eruptions

We conducted an experiment to create a chemical reaction that would erupt inside a bottle and look like a volcanic eruption.

Watch our videos to see some of our experiments in action.  They will only play on a computer.

 

We used washing up liquid, water, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and some red food colouring.

When those were combined all groups managed to get a reaction that caused our previously made volcanoes to “erupt”.

As you can hear, we thought the whole experience was AWESOME!!!!!

Image result for science is awesome
