Discovery Photo

What do you think the object is in the photo below? Write what you think it is and your name on a piece of paper and put it into the box in class. Don't tell anyone else what you think it is.

Update: This was a school jersey - the colour is a big clue. Well done Janine.

How does electricity work?

Today we had a go at using our Makey Makey kits. Our learning was to find out how an electrical circuit can be turned on and off.

Why? 
The light switch in our class broke and we haven't had lights for a few days. So we wanted to explore how the switch actually worked.

Update: 

We actually had lights because Nathaniel was very thoughtful and brought some lamps into class.

Are you able to observe like a scientist?

Brooke and Jaymie have used our digital microscope to take a photo of something in our class.

Write your name and what you think it is on a piece of paper and put it in the box in class.

What is this?

Observing like a scientist

Weobserved closely to find our fingerprints and analyse our handwriting.  

Learning about fire and chemical ractions

Today we learned about what fire needs and how chemicals can burn different colours. Just like when we see fireworks. It was fun being a scientist and exploring our ideas in groups.



Here's a little clip of our learning to get an idea of how fireworks fly up into the sky.
