Matthew's Foaming Monster
















Today I brought vinegar, baking soda and a card with instructions so that my class could see me make a foaming monster. We mixed the vinegar with some dishwashing liquid and then added the baking soda. Our monster started to foam!

Making butter


Today we went to Room 11 and Mrs Balks helped us to make butter from cream.
First, we poured cream into a container and shook hard.
Next, the cream thickened and coated the sides. The cream separated into butterfat and buttermilk. We had crackers with some of our butter on top.

Hokey pokey fun


We had such fun with Mrs Webber making hokey pokey, as part of our learning about CHANGE!
We saw golden syrup being mixed with sugar and baking soda. It went all frothy. When it cooled down it went hard! It tasted delicious!

Lava lamp experiment



We were having fun doing a density experiment with oil, food colouring, water and maple syrup. We found out that the oil is the lightest. The syrup is the heaviest (most dense) and the water was in the middle.
