Dancing Raisins
We carried out a simple experiment exploring carbon dioxide. We watched bubbles form around raisins, carry the raisin to the surface and then sink back down as the bubbles popped when they reached the surface. We then researched how carbon dioxide is formed and what effect it is having on our environment. We found out that carbon dioxide is responsible for Global warming. Did you know that NZ makes its own unique soft drink called L&P.
Sun dials
Pharrell and Connor work with Mr Thornton and have been exploring change. They made sundials and shared these with the class. The boys explained that as the sun moves in the sky it will cast a shadow on their dial. They have marked the times on their base. They must place the sundial so it faces north for it to mark the time accurately.
