Science in a Van

Emily and Allan came to visit us to share a science show.

We began our morning with a whole school assembly where we learned about forces. Objects move if you push or pull them...but gravity has a part to play too.

After morning tea, we had a junior session during which we learned about mixtures and gases. We now know that if you mix two materials together they can mix, separate or cause a reaction.  We also found out that some gases are heavier than air like carbon dioxide, and that some are lighter, such as helium.

Allan blew bubbles. There were small bubbles, BIG bubbles, bubbles inside bubbles, heavy bubbles and bubbles that looked like a volcano!

It was good fun and we now have lots more science knowledge in our brains!
