Room 6 Science Day 2013

Room 6 Science Day

EXPERIMENTS IN ROOM 6

• DANCING SULTANAS
• DISSOLVING SOLIDS
• OOBLECK
• LAVA LAMP
• MENTOS GEYSER
• REACTIONS - INFLATING A BALLOON
• SECRET MESSAGES

Room 6 splited up into two even groups with Miss Phillips and Mrs Robinson.

 Frist of all we tried

 DANCING SULTANAS.

These are the steps   

1. We poured the soda water into the bowl 

1. Next we added the sultanas one at a time gently into the soda water.2.
2. We poured three quarters of the soda water into the bowl, and then each of us gently dropped a sultana into the water. 
3. We then predicted what would happen. 

What Happened:  When we dropped a sultana in the water slowly they started to float up and down. We tried a sultana in ordinary water but it didn’t have the same reaction.

Next we tried Oobleck.

Oobleck

Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid, that means it acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it. If you can make enough Oobleck you can even walk on it.

Recipe:

Water, Corn Starch and a drop of food colouring. (Optional)

1. We poured some corn starch into a bowl and added  the water to the mixture
2. We then started mixing the two together. 
3. We mixed until hard stuff (Oobleck) was at the bottom.

4          We grabbed the mixture out of the bowl and started to play. By the time we were finished the       court was covered in Oobleck.

     When we touched the Oobleck it was hard and when we tipped it from hand to hand it turned to a  liquid.

We had a lot of fun and excitemen. It  was a great day playing and learning with science.

Jeremy doesn't like that smell.

See how it is a solid that turns into a liquid...
