SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS WITH JIM WILDE

On Tuesday Mr Jim Wilde came to Room 13 to talk to us about science investigations. We put 4 gobstoppers into the corners of a dish of water. First we talked about (PREDICTED) what we thought might happen. After we put them into the bowl we OBSERVED the changes that were happening. We had predicted that:
* the gobstoppers would change colour
* the water would change colour
* the colours would run into each other
What actually happened amazed us. The colour started running into the water but it stopped in 4 perfect square shapes. WOW!
We look at channging some of the VARIABLES to see what would happen. We changed:
* The places we put the gobstoppers
* the size of the container
Then we PREDICTED what would happen next and OBSERVED the changes.

It was a fantastic lesson. A HUGE thank you to Jim for coming in to Room 13 to show us these great experiments.
Check out the photos we took - well done Caleb for making the slide show!
