Thinking Tuesdays ?

Thinking Tuesdays is a chance for children in Room 4 to explore a range of scientific and philosophical concepts. So far this term we have done a range of simple science experiments that have looked at the nature of air, fire, heat and lipids (that's fat for all you non-chemists).

Here are a few photos from our latest experiment. We added food colouring and dishwashing detergent to a saucer of milk. During this experiment we were learning to observe carefully so we could later write what happened. We really enjoyed this experiment especially when we were able to put the dye in the saucer ourselves.
Adding the milk.

Food colouring.

All four colours, ready to go...

Here we go.
WOW!


And it keeps going!
