Volcanoes

 

WALT see the reaction between baking soda and vinegar

In room one we have been doing science for about the past two weeks, we started by using multiple layers of paper mache to create the shape of our volcanoes. Next we painted them. Lastly we had the actual experiment, we filled our volcanoes 2/3 of the way with water to make sure we could see the reaction, then we added baking soda which a base and on top to make the reaction we added vinegar which is an acid when they mix they create a gas, the gas is carbon dioxide. Sadly it wasn't as cool as we hoped the eruption was small and we couldn't see it that well. Maybe the water diluted the vinegar? Next time I would add more baking soda. even though it didn't work, it was still fun.

Would you ever try this experiment?

Book Character Day

At school today we are having a book character day. I decided to dress as Coraline, but I chose to make it my own. One of Coraline´s signature outfits is a pair of blue jeans and a yellow raincoat.

I chose Coraline because i love the story line of the book and the art style in the movie, the author of Coraline originally wrote the book for his daughter and grew in popularity, I think that is such a cool way to share your work with others.

Who would you dress up as?

 

Sacraments
