We have been having lots of fun in P3 this week!
Science:
We looked at chemical reactions to begin our science unit.
We mixed Redbull and milk together and made predictions (hypothesis) on what would happen.
After recording the results we came up with an I wonder question...
Mrs Hay came in to view our experiments and posed the question 'Would the same reaction occur if you altered the colour?' which sent everyone into a flurry of I wonder...
Next we added food colour to milk and a small amount of dish washing liquid.
We followed the same I predict, results and I wonder format.
It was a very exciting lesson which led into what other experiments could we do and school and how could we alter today's experiments to achieve different results.
Maths/Technology:
We had two challenges to complete with a 45 minute time allocation for each.
Each group had 5 people (Leader, Scribe, Questioner, Timer, Resource Collector).
Challenge 1: Using only one bag of mini marshmallows and one packet of spaghetti construct the tallest tower in a 45 minute time period.
Challenge 2: Using only 1 roll of toilet paper create the largest area and perimeter you can (each sheet of toilet paper must be touching).
There was lots of team building, leadership, supporting each other, math language and fun being had!
Challenge 1 was definitely the class favourite, although this may have been purely due to being able to eat the marshmallows at the end!
