Science Sparks

We have been using simple science experiments as motivators in our writing this week. Yesterday they conducted an experiment called 'The exploding sandwich bag'. Today Mrs Seymour and the class experimented with popping balloons. There was great hilarity! Enjoy reading some of our work.

The Exploding Sandwich Bag -By Issac

Really! An exploding sandwich bag? I didn't quite believe it could happen either but I just witnessed it! The baking soda and vinegar caused a chemical reaction, making it puff up. As the air was trapped the bag expanded and after 10 seconds...BOOM! Vinegar was flooding the ground!

Balloon Pop - By Harry

Have you ever sat on a balloon to pop it? We just did! BANG! The room filled with laughter like a trip to the circus. It was hilarious when Mrs Seymour sat on the balloon. When I tried it, it lowered me like an elevator. Some of the girls were really anxious and I had to pop theirs for them! It was a really awesome experience.
