Science Week

2nd and 3rd classes were very busy during Science week this year and had great fun trying out new experiments. 

First, we investigated our sense of taste by testing it without the senses of smell or sight. While blindfolded and holding our noses, one we tasted either a potato or an apple and had to decide which we had. We all did very well.

We also made a bouncy egg!! We investigated the chemical reactions and effects of acids on materials. We put a raw egg into vinegar and left it there for 72 hours. The acid in the vinegar made the shell soft, and we managed to bounce our egg!!

We studied the Wright Brothers and discovered that they flew the first powered, sustained, and controlled aeroplane in December 1903.  We made paper aeroplanes, and in our hall, we had a competition to see whose aeroplane would fly the furthest.

Outside on the final day of science week, we explored what happens when we place Mentos into a bottle of Diet Coke. We saw a physical reaction that caused a large eruption of the coke.
