Experiments

We found out if household substances were acids, base (alkaline) or neutral. 



We learnt what is inside a nappy to keep babies skin dry, 


We mixed a solid and liquid together and then the gas it produced blew up a balloon. 







The children got to make some gloop and then added another solid to make a bouncy ball. 




The PHD students were fantastic showing us all what to do









Auckland University Science Trip

We have a fantastic day at the University learning about solids, liquids and gases. 
We started off in the big lecture theatre. 

We watched a science experiment on the big screen

Then we went into the lab to watch some experiments. We all had to wear googles and rubber gloves

We watched experiments with fruit

Eggs
Balloons 
We had morning tea together
