After planning model mountains complete with huts, trees and animals, we built these in the sandpit and discovered what happens to these things when it rains. Now we know how rivers are made, and how powerful water can be.

Water, Water Everywhere
During Term 2 we made lots of interesting discoveries about water, and its changing states. We found what things floated and what sunk. We also discovered ways to make floating things sink, and how to float things that normally sink in water. We even made a needle float on the top of water (using surface tension).

Wow Room 4, you have been doing some pretty interesting maths and science work. I wonder how you made the objects that sank float again? Did you tie a balloon to them?
keep writing about your learning because I enjoy reading about it on your blog.

Great to see all the pictures from Room 4 and how you are having fun. Keep up the good work!

I liked it when we made the needle
float.

Watching the needle float was interesting.

I don't know why the needle floats and the paper sinks.

I like when we got to make the needle float on paper. It was interesting when the needle and the paper didn't. I hope do a lot more fun stuff together again.

I checked if the tennis ball floated and I did in the sink. It floated. I did it with my Dad.
