Science Club Year 1 & 2
Week Eight- Baking gingerbread men
Today we explored changes and how ingredients will change once they are combined and baked.
We got a little bit messy but had a wonderful time and made some delicious gingerbread men to take home.
Week Seven-Magnetic board games
Week Six- The Coke and Mentos experiment
Science club had an explosive time this week. We explored what happens when you mix coke and mentos together. We explored different types of coke and made predictions before we tried them out. We found out that the supermarkets own brand made the biggest explosion!
Please take a look at our photographs.
Week Five- Sink or float?
The children had a wonderful time this week exploring floating and sinking. We talked about different materials and predicted whether they would float or sink.
After experimenting with the materials Mrs Farley challenged the children to design and make their own boats to float on the water. We made some wonderful boats and they all floated!!
Week Four- Paper flying models!
Science club were challenged this week to make models using paper that could fly. The children tried out lots of different models and chose their best one to use in the competition.
Matthew was our winner this week with an aeroplane that flew the furthest. Well done!
Week Three- Inflating balloons!
In science club this week the children have been exploring chemical reactions. We investigated how to create a gas to inflate a balloon.
We used vinegar and bicarbonate of soda to inflate our balloons and also observed a balloon inflating using yeast, sugar and warm water.
We had a really good time.
Week Two- There's a hole in my bucket!
Week One- Making bubbles
This week we explored bubbles. We tested different types of soap to find out what made the best bubbles.
The children then had a competition to see who could blow the biggest bubble with their own bubble mixtures!
We discovered that it doesn't matter what shape the bubble blower is; the bubbles will always be sphere shaped!
