The Whangarei Fire Service came to the school and demonstrated how to make foam. We learnt that it is made from mixing air, water and foam chemicals together in a foam machine. The Fire Service use foam to smother fires.
On Wednesday classes rotated around our whanau and took part in experiments that explored change. Children were very excited and a lot of scientific conversations were shared. In Room 20 we made Sherbet, In Room 21 we made Ooblek, In Room 18 we made a plastic bag explode using vinegar and baking soda, and in Room 19 we explored water density using sugar and water.
We had bubble day on Friday.
