Science week





During Science week we cross grouped across the 4 classes in our Syndicate to carry out different science tasks.
We made hot air balloons that when fired up in the playground either caught in the trees or flew right over to Rosmini. We also made  rockets with ballons and straws. In room 4 we experimented with balloons.
 In our own class we worked on Chemistry tasks that involved decanting, filtering and evaporating to separate 3 mixtures. It was so exciting watching the sugar crystals boiling up on the sides of the beaker.
Lighting the bunsen burner was scarey but great and we trialled how to put these out safely before we started.
It was alot of fun.
