Week 7 Science - Dry Ice

What a great way to start a Monday - Science! 

This week we had a break from space and experimented with Dry Ice which is the solid form of Carbon Dioxide. We had great fun pouring water over it and watching it 'boil' away, squirting in dish washing liquid and last but not least adding food colouring! Take a look at our videos and pictures to see what an awesome way it was to start the week.

Observatory Visit

A few weeks ago we visited the Cawthron Atkinson Observatory (located at our school!) We were really unsure of we'd be able to see anything because of all the cloud cover. But right on time the clouds parted and we got a beautiful view of the moon. We could see heaps of craters on it. Planet Venus shone brightly for us and we could also see Saturn and Mercury.
