Master Chef cook-off

Free collage made with Smilebox

To end our topic of CHANGE we had a master chef cook-off. Each class made something.

Room 7 made hokey pokey to show that..... the baking soda releases all of its gas (CO2) and makes a chemical reaction with the sugar and golden syrup. That makes it bubbly and frothy.

Here is the recipe:

Put 5 tablespoons of sugar into a pot.

Put 2 tablespoons of golden syrup into the pot.

Out the pot on a low heat to dissolve the sugar.

Boil on a low heat for 4 minutes.

Put one teaspoon of baking soda into the pot.

Stir quickly and spoon out onto a greased tray.

ENJOY!!!

What is happening in this experiment?

Baking soda and vinegar experiment

Chemical reaction (Jude)

The baking soda and vinegar made a chemical reaction (Bailey)

The baking soda and vinegar created Co2 gas and bubbles (Deepika)

You cannot get the baking soda back (Maia)

Soluble (Koston)

Irreversible-the baking soda cannot come back (Jahmin)

Yeast is alive!!!!

Did you know that yeast is alive??

What happens when you add sugar to yeast and warm water?

Why does bread need yeast?

Watch this experiment to see how yeast produces Co2 (carbon dioxide gas).

We have a new blog called Sensational Spelling.
This blog will explain what we are learning to do in spelling, examples of what we are learning and reflections.

We are in the process of linking this spelling blog to our individual blogs.

So... watch this space!!!!!

Cross Country

This week is our Middle Syndicate Cross Country.
We have been training for our cross country by learning how to pace ourselves and by setting goals.

The melting ice experiment below should say.... MELTING ICE not winter penguins!!!

We froze the same amount of water in different shaped containers. We watched them melt.

We found out that the more surface area a frozen block of water has the quicker it melts... because water melts from the outside first!!!

Melting Ice Experiment!!!!!!

This is a fast one (at melting) because it has a large surface area.

In room7 we are learning about science.

We do lots of experiments with Ice and water.

Here we are tiring to figure out which block\cube melts first.

Our big idea this term is on CHANGE.

We are experiementing with ice and how it changes.

We know that...

1. ice is a solid
2. sugar mixed with water and then frozen melts faster than just ice
3. ice melts from the outside first
4. water is a liquid

We did an experiment with a large ice cube. We put water, food dye and salt on it.

The salt dissolved a little bit and it left a hole in the ice.

Welcome back to term 3!!!

To Room 7
Hi guys!
I hope you had a relaxing and fun holiday!
Now it's time to get back into it - setting new goals and trying hard to achieve them!!
You will see on the right side of this blog is 'My Blog List'. All children in Room 7 have their blogs listed... so click into yours and have fun reflecting on your work.
This term we are going to be adding more and more reflections on our learning.
Have a great term 3!
