This week we finished Airplane Experiment 2, and I have posted the pictures below.
Parent's Day
This week Grade 5 welcomed many parents as guests and prepared a series of experiments to present to their audience. Students spent the week researching experiments and preparing for the experiment demonstration on Friday. In addition to researching experiments students also completed the various Scientific Method steps: Purpose, Research, Hypothesis, Experiment (and later Analysis and Conclusion).
Students made a shopping list of materials needed to conduct the experiment and we made a trip to Daiso. A small budget was allotted to each group so students had to factor in what they really needed versus what they wanted. Posters were made and data gathered as each group walked us through each of their experiments.
On Friday Grade 5 performed four different experiments:
Homemade Bouncy Ball: made out of a mixture of borax, glue, and corn starch.
Waterproofing Sand: sprayed waterproofing spray on sand found and sifted at the park.
Lava Lamp: water, vegetable oil, alka-seltzer combined to show different densities in liquid.
Lemon Volcano: lemon, baking soda, dish soap, and lemon juice combine for an explosive effect.
