Our Assembly Movie - Celebrating our Wind Science


Re-visiting Molecules

We talked about the 3 states of water.

Water can change
It can be a liquid
A gas
A solid.
We acted out how the molecules behave in these different states.
Ask us to show you!

The Water cycle Song

We learnt the water cycle song. (click on link - the title above)

Mrs Hayman put half a glass of water in an electric fry pan and we watched the water boil and then change to vapour and then it condensed on the lid of the frying pan.
Try it at home.

Where did the water go?


Our Super Science Friday Experiment was called 'Where did the water go?'
We predicted what would happen if we poured some water onto the concrete.  We predicted that...
"It would go through the cracks."
"It would run down into a drain."
"Gravity would take it across the concrete and down a sewer."
"Up into the clouds" said Olivia.
"It would soak into the concrete."

We created our puddle of water at 10.45 am and drew around it with a piece of chalk.  We checked it at 11.15 and it had gotten smaller - about half the size.  We checked it again at 12.00 noon and it had disappeared.
It had not moved out of our chalk circle so it didn't go down a drain or into the crack.  
Where did the water go???  
We were puzzled, although Olivia's idea that the water had gone up to make a cloud was an
interesting idea...

Habitat Inquiry

Welcome to Term 3 everyone.
We are diving into our 'Habitat' Inquiry.
We began with discussing what is living and non-living.
We used Mrs Gren to help us.









Ask about fire, worms, clouds or mushrooms.  Use Mrs Gren to help you work out if they are living or non living?
