Managing Self

Inquiry - Kitchen Chemistry

We had completed a few experiments this week as part of our inquiry learning. We really enjoyed the one we completed today that involved using milk, food colouring and dishwashing liquid. We have been learning how to follow the scientific method, creating hypotheses and recording detailed observations. We have also been learning how to complete scientific drawings.
This experiment would be a good one to try at home!

The colour 'bursts' because the soap molecules are attracted to the fat molecules in the milk - they pretty much have a game of chase!!

The Mini Golf Challenge

The Mini Golf Challenge is back! Today for the end of term we created mini golf courses. We worked in groups. This challenge had a big focus on our 'Key Competencies', in particular 'Thinking', 'Participating & Contributing' and 'Relating to Others'. Carolyn was our special guest golfer and she was impressed with how creative the courses were.
This is a great challenge to end the term with - well done everyone!!
