Wattle Day

      Wattle Day 

We made beautiful Wattle Day badges and  proudly wore them for the day.

Today in Maths we conducted an investigation on Time. In groups we made our very own sand timers that had to run for 1 minute. We had to make different adjustments to get the time correct or as close  as possible. Then we recorded our findings. Maths Investigation- The Sands of Time

 
 

Science Week

Science Week

Science Tabloids

Last week was science week, on Wednesday the 15^th August; Wattle Grove Primary School held a Science Tabloid. In each tabloid we learnt about and performed science experiments.

My group did a Leak Proof Bag Experiment with our music teacher Mr Honey. We poked a pencil through a bag filled with water. All of us expected it to trickle out but it didn’t because the bag is made of polymers which are tough and flexible. So, when we poked the bag the molecules hugged the pencil making the bag not leak.

Our second rotation was with Ms Agar where we did DIY Red Cabbage Chemistry. We used a dropper to get a maximum of 5 drops of each ingredient in the 5 tubes. In each tube we added vinegar, dish washing liquid, lemonade, baking soda and red cabbage juice. We then put pH strips in the tubes to test the pH level of each liquid.

Last but not least, we made a Lava Lamp with Miss Zaffino. For this experiment we used oil, food colouring, water and Alka Seltzer tablets to make it fizz. First, we got a glass filled with water and oil. Then added a few drops of food colouring followed by the Alka Seltzer which caused bubbling.

In summary, we learned some new facts about science while having fun.
