Merry Christmas Room 15! //__**WOOL EXPERIMENT**__// CURIOUS MONDAY WEEK 8 TERM 4 2016 We made our dreamcatchers out of wool so today we looked closely at wool. We tested how easy it was to break. There was a lot of planning, problem solving and thinking as we worked in our groups. We LAUGHED LOTS TOO! We wonder - why can we not break some wool at all? media type="custom" key="28865376" CURIOUS MONDAY- SKITTLES EXPERIMENT Today we did two different experiments using skittles lollies. In the first one we dropped a skittle into a glass of water and watched it- it was amazing! Secondly we filled a dessert bowl with water and dropped 4 different coloured skittles into the bowl. The result was also fascinating. Remember to tell your family all about what happened. WE LOVE SCIENCE! Happy Birthday to Ryan Li who turned 8 this week! BALLOON Observation...   What fun we had with our Balloons   We noticed that   * powder comes out of an empty balloon   *balloons go out of balance and wobble when they have water in them   *you can blow up a balloon with water inside it   *balloons have an interesting texture before they are blown up   *the skin of the balloon gets thinner the bigger you blow the balloon   *when you blow up a round balloon and let it go it spins noisily around in a circle Blow up a balloon Look closely at what happens when you blow it up? Let it go- what happens? Why do you think it does that? Put some water in the balloon. Now try blowing it up. What happens? CURIOUS MONDAY ROSE DISSECTION / LEAF INSPECTION WHAT FUN WE HAD? SUCH AMAZING 'WONDERING QUESTIONS'. REMINDER: IT IS GRANDPARENTS DAY FRIDAY! WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING OUR LEARNING WITH YOU IN ROOM 15.
