Science Alive- Mechanism

Electrofun

Today we had Science Alive in the classroom to teach us about electronics. We made simple circuits that ran a LCD light. Later on we created a more complicated circuits that had switches and other items, such as whistles that run off a battery. John next put up circuits diagrams we had to read the symbols and recreate the circuit.

Science Alive

On Wednesday Science Alive came to Room 2 to teach us about chemistry. First Julie read a mystery book to the class about science. The science was that we needed to find who stole the powder from Kate' s shop.

Then my group lit a fire in a ice cream box. We needed to put some safety glasses on and put some white powder in a little tray.

Finally, Julie set up a rocket to blast off in the classroom. When the rocket was fired it gave me a fright.

I thought Science Alive was awesome because I like chemistry.

Science Alive - Chemistry

Science Alive on 2nd November 9.30-11.30

Exciting Times!!!!!

"Science Alive” is running a Chemistry programme on 2 November between 9.30am and 11.30am in the classroom.

I’m inviting parents to come in and observe your child participating in the programme-

Some of the learning intentions-

Students to mix at least two kitchen Chemicals in several experiments and create something new.

Students can handle lab equipment and chemicals correctly and safely.

Please ensure on the day that your child’s hair is tied up and he/she is wearing covered shoes( It is a requirement).

Looking forward to seeing you there.
