This week we had our first round of science experiments to spark interest in the awesome concepts that we will be diving into this term. Here we have some rōpū who were watching how things can change states from a solid to a liquid. We did this using bath bombs as our mystery item which tamariki enjoyed watching dissolve, bubble and fizz into a liquid state. Our ākonga then came up with questions about why that happened. They then got to make the next batch of bath bombs to get an idea of what goes into them and how water can activate the change. Watch this space for more fun experiments to come!
Kia ora Ata Hāpara.
It looks like you were all very interested in the science that was happening as your bath bomb changed. What great scientists you are becoming by observing and asking questions and finding answers! I wonder whether it made your whole studio smell beautiful afterwards. I’m looking forward to seeing some of your other science learning this term.
