Science


Science

We are learning how to be a scientist. Scientists look closely, they think and they wonder. Today we continued our experiment from last week and we tested blue top, green top milk, cream and water. We wonder why the cream stayed still? We wonder why the blue top milk swirled really quickly when we added the dishwashing liquid. Try it at home!!

What you need:
Milk (blue top works best)
3 colours of food colouring
dishwashing liquid

Add the dishwashing liquid last and watch what happens!

Thinking like a scientist

Today we were learning about acids and bases. We used litmus paper and made predictions about if we thought the paper would turn blue or red. We then recorded our findings on a chart. Then we added baking soda to each liquid and noted whether it fizzed or stayed the same. 


We are learning to use I see, I think, I wonder to Help us think like a scientist 

We used..
Milk
Coke
Lemonade
Vinegar
Orange juice
Water
