Science week
On monday the young budding scientists from Glenbrae School were learning about science. Room seven was with Mrs Raj to learn about condensation, evaporation, 3 state of matter and the 3 forms of water. Then we typed it down on our netbooks then we made a reflection on what we did in science. On our milk it had condensation on it and so did the cup of coffee that Mrs Raj poured in the cup. Then we blog our reflection on what we done what Mrs Raj wrote up on the board. Then we blogged our writing from what we learnt about science.
On the next day we were with Mrs Parker. Room 7 was making bread. Mrs Parker first put the flour and the water inside a mixing bowl and stirred it altogether. Then she put the brown sugar and the water together and it had a stinky smell because it was on the sun and it was almost done. Mrs Parker mixed the dough and she took it out from the bowl and kneaded it and put it on a warm place and in the oven then we went outside to see Mrs Parker do her experiment. Her experiment was putting baking soda and vinegar together and see what will happen . First she put the baking soda in a balloon
and poured the vinegar into the bottle.Then she put the balloon on the bottle to see what will happen. What happen was that the baking soda made the vinegar rise and formed the balloon rise which was carbon dioxide . Then we saw heaps of bubbles rise from the bottle. Then it was lunch time we went back to class and crapped our lunch and went off. Then Mrs Parker pulled out the first bread it turned out good. Then the second bread came out it was
huge and it was plaited up. And at the end we got to eat the bread. Mrs Parker forgot to tell us we might get a sore stomach from the bread that was not left to rise. This was because, it hadn’t been left to make carbon dioxide, so instead, it made it in our stomachs.
On wednesday we were in Mrs Tofa’s class. We made scones and there were L&P, vinegar, water and sprite. Mrs Tofa told us to use a quick experiment.
The question was “ will the apple get roten if we use these chemicals” . Rata,Nikau and Kowhai went for vinegar and Kauri went for water and nether of ours got rotten. Then Mrs Tofa said” it is time to choose your
chemical to make your scones”. Me and quater of the class chose L&P
and Whitney, Setita and Amelia worked on vinegar. And the rest of the boys
made it with sprite.Then in the rest of the day Mrs Tofa told us some
riddles and we played a game of bang. For the rest of the minutes we waited
and waited until the scones come. Then we all ate our scones with our milk and then the bell rang. Then we went back to Room 7.
Science week was awesome because it was about fun stuff then we got to eat it we went to different class and learnt how to make scones and bread it was
really fun and we got to put our hands inside our work and write about it also. I like this week and i want it to start again.
