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
- We poured the soda water into the bowl
- Next we added the sultanas one at a time gently into the soda water.2.
- We poured three quarters of the soda water into the bowl, and then each of us gently dropped a sultana into the water.
- 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)
- We poured some corn starch into a bowl and added the water to the mixture
- We then started mixing the two together.
- We mixed until hard stuff (Oobleck) was at the bottom.

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.

Dissolving Solids
Jeremy doesn't like that smell.
Oobleck
See how it is a solid that turns into a liquid...
