This week the year 5 and 6's went to a Science Roadshow at Hokitika Primary. There was other schools there and they did two shows for each school. They did 1 experiment for each show. In the 1st show they put a cider in the milk. It made the milk go all funny and turn it into curds and whey. Then after they showed us the experiment we got to have a look around. There was weird stuff and games and puzzles. One of the weird things was a horses heart and two other hearts but I didn't know what animals they were from. There were other things and one of them was a wind tunnel and you had to wear safety glasses and earmuffs. Next to it was this really cool orb that had a glowing light and if you touched it would make the light brighter and one of the strings would follow your finger. There were cards and you had to figure out how the things on the card worked and you would have to tell someone how it worked. Have you ever been to the Science roadshow before?
Kia ora Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteWell done on writing this blogpost about the Science Roadshow!
It is so awesome to hear what a lovely time you had, and it definitely sounds like you learnt a lot from this experience!
You mentioned how you got to have a look around and saw a real horse heart. How big was the heart, and did it look how you expected it to look? Why/why not?
You also mentioned how there was an experiment for each show, and you got to see two shows. As the first experiment was the apple cider vinegar in milk, what was the second experiment about?
It would be great if you could reply to this comment and let me know!
Keep up the excellent work!
