I hope you had a great weekend, I went to the cinema and saw "Night at the museum 2" has anyone seen it and would like to write a review?

A chilly Week 4

Can you explain what's happening in this photo? All correct answers will receive a raffle ticket!

Science Fair is in Week 9, I really enjoyed reading your log books last week; please make sure that you ask for help if you are not sure of where to go next. By now you should be experimenting and taking photos of your progress so far. Your log book is so super important!

We have had a fabulous few weeks looking at the changes of state and general science discovery, what has been your favourite so far and why? Let me know below and you'll receive a raffle ticket.
This week we are mixing some bubbling explosions, crazy cannisters and making hokey pokey, all the while looking at whether the changes are reversible or not, chemical or physical.

Lastly, have you read Ben Duff's ONCE review? it is bang on the money for a book review, he lists both the positives and negatives of the story and his own opinion. There is a copy of it in the reading corner.
