I lIke To Move It Inquiry Launch

Today we launched our Inquiry "I Like To Move It!"  

Room One and Two got together with their teachers and we talked about what Science experiment that we were going to do.  The teachers showed us the equipment that we needed.  Lots of us didn't realise that there was different kinds of Coca Cola and that Mentos were lollies.  

First we formed a question, which was "What will happen if we put a packet of Mentos into a bottle of Coke or Diet Coke?"  Then we made our hypothesis which is when we predict what we thought would happen.

This is what we thought...

- The Mentos might sink to the bottom.

- The Coca Cola might explode out of the bottle.

- There might be fizzing.

- There maybe foaming and it could turn white.

- There might be Cocal Cola everywhere

We went outside and sat in a semi circle.  

Miss Philp put the Mentos lollies in the full Coca Cola first.   

Here is video of what happened with the Coca Cola...

Then Miss Collins put the Mentos in the Diet Coca Cola.

After the experiment we came and did some wondering and thinking.  We practised asking questions.  Miss Collins wrote them on the window in the Learning Centre so we could see our thinking and come back to it later.  Check out our wonderings...
