Rocket Experiments

On Thursday the 7th of March we set up a experiment with rockets.
First we had to get in groups of three. Some of us were making Little rockets and some made big rockets. The children that made the big rockets were given the body of the rockets.
After we started putting the weights and cones to balance the rocket when it takes off.
Afterwards we put Clingfilm wrapped in baking soda and vinegar.
The children that made the little rockets were given a small film canister.
Next we were given weights to put on.
We filled them with a bicarbonate of soda and vinegar.

Geocache

We have put a Geocache on Broomscott common. There are lots of things inside for you to swap, read and look.
To find it go to www.geocaching.com and make a profile. Then download the app then start finding it.
There are these all over the world.

Experiments

Last week we set up two experiments about water.
The year 3's set up an experiment of what was left behind after water had evaporated. we put salt in one pot sugar & coffee in others.

The year 4's read a short story about  the case of the disappearing  water.
Then we started a experiment to see how long the lady went away for by looking at how much water had evaporated..
We worked out that the Lady went away for 10 days and was in Europe studying art (according to the story).

The year 3's experiment result was that the pots had left crystals behind but the coffee had just left a brown colour .
