The Lakes South Morang College - Issue 10

YEAR 3: The Year 3’ s learnt about the water cycle in science week. They used a clear plastic cup of water with shaving cream on top to represent clouds. Then they dropped blue food dye rain drops into the cups and watched it go through the foam. Lastly the students watched a video to summarise what they learnt about evaporation. Some parents came in to watch their children learn. YEAR 2: The Year 2’ s made lava lamps with vegetable oil, fizzy tablets and coloured water. They summarised it all by writing what they did and how much fun they had. They were in awe with the bubbles of the experiment and oil and water and other ingredients popping. YEAR 1: Year 1’ s had fun making slime for science week. They used two different ways to make slime and compared the different recipes. Ingredients were, glue and activator. The other one was mixed glue until it formed a stretchy, gooey, satisfying slime. They enjoyed making slime and being actively creative. PREP: The Preps made marble runs out of popsicle sticks and unifix blocks. One Prep said that it was so much fun seeing the marbles go fast through the tracks. They learnt about friction and how gravity brings the marbles down. They watched videos about marbles and learnt how to roll marbles. Some Preps favourite part was playing with the marbles with their parents. Another Prep learnt that the popsicle sticks although smooth, had gaps and slowed the marbles down.
