Science With Mrs OB

On the 9th June,  Room 3 and 4  had the opportunity to explore surface tension with Mrs OB a visiting lecturer of science. We loved dripping drops of coloured water onto a 20 cent coin with a pipette. We had to keep dripping the water onto the coin until the surface tension finally gave way. We predicted how many drops could fit on the coin and then tested to see if our thinking was correct.

Here are some of our stories about our science learning.

 

Surface Tension Experiment

We did experiments in science. We put red water on a coin it was 20 cents.

I practised dripping from a pipette in a lid. I guessed that 14 drops would fit on the coin.

We did an experiment with Mrs OB. We used dye and it was fun. We found out how many drops we could drop on our coin.  I guessed 12 drops would fit on the coin. We did an amazing job.

Maree showed me how to do an experiment. Then Bridget practised dropping the red dye in the lid. Then she did it on the coin and it got bigger and fatter and more like jelly. It was cool when the red dye got bigger, it spilt and went on the paper towel.

Today we did work with Mrs OB. We did science. We used a pipette, a paper towel and a lid with dye in it.

I put 19 drops on my coin.

Mrs OB came to show us an experiment. We have a coin and red water. My prediction was 4 drops of dye would fit on the coin. We practised dripping and counted, then the red dye fell off.

Today we did experiments with Mrs OB. We got a pipette and sucked up the red water with the pipette. Then we dropped the water on the coin it was a 20 cent coin.

Today Room 4 and Room 3 did an experiment with Mrs OB. We had red water a 20 cent coin and a pipette. We sucked up the red water with a pipette then we put it on the coin. Before we had to put it on the coin we had to think of how many drops I was going to drop on the coin before the water fell off.  I got it right but then the water fell off the coin. It was so fun because it looked like jelly. We didn’t know what it was because it looked like hair dye and red water, but it was just dye. I like science it is so much fun. I love science.

Today Mrs OB taught us science. We had red dye in a bottle lid, a 20 cent coin and a pipette.

Today I went to Room 3, Mrs OB did an experiment. The experiment was about dripping red dye onto a 20 cent coin. She used a pipette I did it too. The pipette sucked up the red dye I dripped little drips on to a coin and I counted the drips. I guessed forty three I got it right, when I got to forty three the red dye fell off the coin. We explored surface tension.

 Mrs OB was in Room 3. We did experiments.  We had a lid with red water, a 20 cent coin and we had a paper towel.
