Ice, Ice Baby!

Team Wairere is having fun learning about ice at the moment.  Ms K has been doing some super-amazing experiments using dry ice.

Ms T, (Room 1's student teacher) has been teaching about what happens when other substances touch ice.  Today we are learning that salt reduces the temperature of ice.

We used this chemical reaction to make orange juice slushies!  Click on this LINK to see how.

Science in Action

Here are some budding scientists from Room 1, testing the flammability of natural and man-made fibres.  We had to put in place rigorous safety requirements as we set fire to fabric samples.  This workshop is part of Team Wairere's Fire Workshops.  Each teacher is providing some hands-on science learning based around our theme, fire.  Ask your child what they have been learning.
