On Tuesday we did our first Science experiment with Room Two. First Miss Collins told us that we were going to move paint on a page but we weren't sure how. We thought we could move it around using a our fingers or a spoon. Then Miss Collins told us we were going to be given a straw. Next we formed a question, which was "How can we use a straw to move paint around a piece of paper?"
After that we formed a hypothesis which is when you predict what you think will happen.
We thought...
- The paint might go all over us.
- The paint might splash off the page
- Paint could end up in our mouth.
After that Miss Collins and Miss Philp explained what we were going to do and recorded it on our experiment chart. We wrote it down because that is what 'real' scientists do.
We carried out the experiment and we found out that we could move the paint around the page by blowing down the straw. The paint was quite thick and hard to move around. Room One then tried the experiment again with dye which was thinner and it moved around the page more easily. The dye spread like fireworks.
The air forced the paint and dye to move around the page.
