wattle grove primary school - super science challenge 2016

SUPERSCIENCE CHALLENGE2016

WATTLE GROVE PRIMARY SCHOOL

All students from Year 1 to Year 6 participated in the challenge, by researching an experiment or topic to present to their class.

Then 2 students were chosen from each class to present to the year level, to decide which one would represent that year and present their project at a whole school science assembly.

There has been lots of science and excitement happening around the school in the last 2 weeks and this coming week it is the Super Science Assembly.

This Year 1 is doing an experiment with the aid of his teacher, to see if you can use vinegar and Bicarb to burst open a sealed zip lock bag.

It got awfully tight , but not quite to bursting in the time I was watching…

Steven in Year 6 is doing a similar experiment this time trying to launch a film canister into the air using vinegar and an Alka-Seltzer tablet to create a gas under pressure.

You have to be quick or you lose all the fizz before you get the lid on. Needs a bit of practise to get it right…

In this experiment, Paul is doing the old egg in the jar experiment. How do you get a hard boiled egg into a jar with a narrow neck. Paul managed to do it twice. The harder part was getting the egg out afterwards.

Here is a bit more fizz!! Adding an Alka-Seltzer tablet to a bottle of coke. Adding a balloon quickly will inflate it if you are quick enough…

Fiona is doing a mixing colours Experiment.

Maddison is making Oobleck with corn flour and water. It is interesting as it thickens under pressure and then returns to liquid once the pressure is released…

Scientists call it a Non-Newtonian Fluid…We will add more photos from the Super Science Assembly,later this week…THE END
