Georgia's Recount about Science Week

Plan

Awesome Science!    

On 17th of May in hub 8 the whole hub did three different science experiments, one with each teacher. We were doing science because it was national science week.

The first experiment that I did was the Fizz Inflator with Mrs Parker, the title really grabbed me and I was so excited to do it. When we all got there we we started talking about H20 which is water and talked about other things like CO2.

So after that we actually started the experiment. First we talked about the ingredients. The ingredients were baking soda, vinegar , balloon  and a empty bottle. First Mrs Parker put some baking soda in the balloon, then Mrs Parker poured some vinegar in the bottle. Then she quickly put the balloon on top, then suddenly…

"Fizzzz" all the ingredients reacted together and the balloon blew up, straight up, it was so cool.

After that, we had enough time to do another one which was the yeast one. The ingredients we needed for it was yeast, caster sugar, water , balloon and a empty bottle. Firstly Miss Parker put the yeast then the caster sugar after those Miss Parker put in some water next she put a balloon on top and for this one we had to put next to the window in the sun. A couple minutes later it started inflating a little bit. These experiments were so fun.

Next I went to Mr Stewart and the science experiment that he was doing was called dancing raisins and I was curios about the name, but at the same time I was excited. So when we got to Mr Stewart we talked about what we were going to do.

We got into groups of three or four. My group was Cooper, Charlotte and Me. Mr Stewart gave us all the ingredients the ingredients were Soda/Sparkling Water or Lemonade, a plastic cup and raisins. Cooper , Charlotte and I had an idea, if we video it we could show it on this report so we recorded it on a mac.

We got the soda water and then we put the raisins in and then bouncing up and down and then Cooper showed the camera and then …

" Splash " The water spilt but the raisins stayed in the cup so we all shared them and had a little snack. This experiment was so fun.

Finally we are doing Whaea Nins experiment for Whaea Nins experiment we were doing The Incredible Hoop Glider and I was wondering what that was and then Whaea Nin showed us and it looked weird because it was just a straw and to paper circles attached to it, and apparently it was like a paper plane. Whaea Nin threw it and wow it was so cool I couldn't wait to do it.

So Whaea Nin started to talk about the materials to make The Incredible Hoop Glider and they were Paper , Scissors , A good straw , Sellotape or hot glue.

First, we had to get the paper and cut it into 3cm strips of paper then we and to fold it into a medium circle. Then we had to cut another 3cm strip but this time we folded it into a small circle.

After that some people used Sellotape and some people used Hot Glue to stick the circles onto the straws.

The big circle we have to stick at the back of the straw and at the front of the straw you gotta put the small circle. Stick the circles 2cm apart from the edge.

I loved doing those three science experiments that day and I learnt a thing or two.

My favorite topic was the fizz inflator because it was interesting how it took a long time for the yeast experiment  to  inflate the balloon and for the vinegar experiment it took a very quick time for the balloon to inflate and it made me think and stretched my brain.
