Walking Water

Leave a comment

P3A have been working hard at getting to know each other. We have been working in different types of teams and evaluating what works best. We have been taking on different roles and responsibilities.

In science this week, we focused on observation skills. Everyone in the team had a role. We used water and food colouring for our walking water experiment. Here were the results …

 

We learned a lot from this experiment and really enjoyed it too. Why don’t you ask us all about it and we can share what we learned?

 

Thanks for your continued support,

p3A and miss McGregor.
