Today we did a hot air balloon experiment first we had to stretch
our balloon so it can inflate and expand.

Then she got a tripod,balloons,flask , Meth burner, matches and a
Gauze mat, wet cloth and a dish, when we had the materials we need.
First we place everything on our working hand side so we can not
burn or get our papers wet.

Then we started our experiment to first we place our tripod, then we
get a ice cube then we rub our hands on the ice cube because when
you rub your hand it creates heat energy.

After we rub our hands we put the ice cube inside the flask, then we
put the gauze mat on top of the tripod.

Then we place the flask with the ice cube in it onto the Gauze mat.

Later we put a balloon onto the flask and we got a Meth burner
placed it under the tripod and we light the meth burner until it was
with flame. Now when the meth burner it lit up we wait until the ice
cube is melted.

Later the balloon started to inflate and expand then we Miss Garwith said to stop and gently take the meth burner out we put the cap on the meth burner and the fire stopped lighting  And we used our thumb to roll the balloon out of the flask then before we went home we had to write what does the candle smells,feels or Looks like we all decided that the candle smelled like a pillow and felt smooth and rough and the candle looked like a old candle from our grandparents.

Conclusion: My favorite part was when the balloon was filled up
with cold and heated air.

Metal is a useful material!

Learning Intention: We are learning to understand the properties of materials.
Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I find key information to explain the properties of metal.

Did you know that bean bags are made out of polystyrene and fabrics?

Learning Intention: We are learning to recognise simple properties of materials such as strength flexibility and transparency.
Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I list the materials that items are made out of in my classroom.

Polyester is a fabric?

Learning Intention: We are learning about properties of materials.
Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I record the material song using wevideo.

Did you know that plastic is made out of trees?

Learning Intention: We are learning to recognise simple properties of materials, such as strength, flexibility and transparency.

Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I write information about the material properties.

Let's reduce heat energy together!

Learning Intention: We are learning to understand the impact of heat energy.
Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I write 9 ways to reduce the heat energy around us.

Heat energy!

   
Learning Intention: We are learning to understand the physical properties of heat.
Success Criteria : I know I can do this when I brainstorm and research the key words to explain heat energy.

Making Homemade Ice Cream

On Wednesday I made ice cream in Room 2 because in science we are learning how to turn liquids into solids.  We used evaporated milk, sugar and vanilla to make our ice cream.  First, we put the ingredients into the bowl.  Then we used an electric beater to beat the ingredients.  We all had a turn to whip the ingredients. It turned creamy, fluffy and thick.  Next we put it into the freezer.  Later we got it out of the freezer and tasted it.  It tasted yummy.  I feel good that I can make homemade ice cream at home with mum.
