Observing and Investigating

Mixing and guessing! We had the pipettes out along with some different coloured water (Yellow and red), some baking soda, and some dish-washing liquid.

Sometimes it's great just to take some simple things and mix them together to see what happens!

A special thanks to Stephen Opie for filming and editing. You are awesome!!

Popcorn Writing

We've been looking at how and why popcorn pops. Here is the amazing video clip put together by the Slow mo guys that we watched. (Click on the picture for the link)

The popcorn started as a popcorn kernel. When he popcorn got put in the popcorn maker it expanded. In the middle there is a tiny bit of moisture. When it heats up it turns into steam. The steam makes the popcorn kernel heat up. When it is really hot, it pops! The white stuff is starch. The popcorn tastes a bit salty. It feels spongy like a sea sponge. It looks puffy. It feels soft. I see little bits of shell. I like butter flavoured popcorn.
