This week it was national science week and we have been doing lots of really fun activities.

On Monday we had a special visitor come in and in assembly she taught us alot of interesting facts, she also did lots of experiments and told us how they worked.
In one of the experiments she made toothpaste for her friends elephant and it exploded out of the tube and went into the bucket/container that was underneath the test tube.

We also went to a special workshop with her and we put an egg on top of a science bottle and put a flame in the bottle and the egg (called Egg-ward) got sucked into the bottle. And the scientist blew and the bottle and got Egg-ward out because of the pressure.


Through out the week we did lots of work shops with all different teachers.With Mr Edwards we did lots of egg experiments. One of he egg experiments was finding out if an egg could possibly bounce. Firstly we got a raw egg and dropped it into a bowl to see if it would bounce. However it just immediately cracked! We also walked on eggs and bounced eggs that been soaked in vinegar for 2 days! We also did experiments wit  
h all of the other teachers, such as:

• Parachutes
• Rockets
• balloon powered cars
• Home-made lava-lamps
• Finding out what black ink was made from by using a special type of paper and some water
• Walking on eggs and doing experiments with them. 

In class we also did lots of experiments, one of them was us trying to walk through 1 piece of A4 paper while only making one hole, some of us managed to do it but then we watched a video of how it could be done.First of all you have to get a piece of A4 paper and scissors.

First of all fold your piece of paper landscape ways and then cut half way up the folded side and then half way up the open side carry this on and then unfold the piece of paper and DO NOT cut the top and bottom joints only the ones in the middle.Then unfold it and you will have made a circle that you can fit through out of A4 paper.


We also did a experiment in class when we found out the surface tension on 1p coins 2p coins 5p coins 10p coins and 20p coins.
We got a pipit and a cup of water we put the coin on the table and put drops of water on the coin until the surface tension broke.

We also found out what colour black ink was.We found out that black ink was all different colours like pink, blue and dark purple.

At the end of the week parents came in and we set different stations for them to look at, showing them what we had done through out the week. One of the things we enjoyed was optical illusions, here are some to look at:

these are some illusions we liked and looked at.
