Experi-MINT - Mentos & Geyser Experiment

We were so lucky to have the 400 packets of Mentos donated to us by Brandlines and the Coke, Sprite, Fanta etc donated to us by Coca-Cola. It was fun to see all the different class's designs and to test our predictions. This is what the reporter and cameraman from the Manawatu Standard captured from the event. It is on stuff.co.nz/manawatustandard and will also be in the Manawatu Standard tonight (Thursday 23 September).

Maddi and Chelyn's Claymation

This is our claymation we have been working on it for the last term. We are really proud of how it has turned out because we have been working on it for ages and we finally got it finished!

We Have Hot glued A bottle inside of the Tower and We are Going to Put Vinegar, Baking Soda and Red Food Colouring Inside it.We Will then Cover it With Tin Foil and Fly a Toy Plain Into the Tin Foil Which we are hoping will make this Explode. We Will Catch This on video Put It in our Keynote then Post our Keynote On the Blog.

ClayMation

This is not a simple claymation.It took Zane, Aedan and Sarah to make this. It took about a term and a half. We think it is AWESOME I hope you do to!

Riverstone Art

This is some of our riverstone art. We have been learning to use Indian Ink and Dye to create a sence of the Manawatu river.
First, we had to draw how we wanted our sence to be layed out. We could include plants,trees, rocks,and also the sun and some hills.
After we had layed out our sence we used Indian Ink to fill inbetween the rocks that we drew,and we also drawed white pastel lines in our river. This would be for when we dyed our river, it would show up the lines that we wanted in our water without having to do it afterwards.
Next we dyed our river with greens,blues and purples to make an effective river, and one everything had dried we shaded the rocks with pencil. We had to decide which direction the sun would come from, and we had to make it darker around those areas of the stone without direct sunlight.

Rock and Dissolve - Science

ROCK AND DISSOLVE:

Question: Can something as soft as rain dissolve something as hard as rock?
Experiment: We put pieces of white chalk into separate capsules filled with vinegar, lemon juice and water.

Predictions:
I predicted that the chalk would dissolve fastest in the vinegar because it is really strong - Britney
I thought that the chalk would dissolve fastest in the lemon juice because it is 'citrussy' - Abby
I predicted that the vinegar and the chalk was going to fizz up and perhaps explode - Kayla
I predicted that the vinegar and lemon juice would both dissolve the chalk because they have chemicals in them compared to the water.  I don't think the water will do much - Amelia
I thought the vinegar would dissolve first because I think it is likely to fizz - Sharne
I thought the vinegar and the lemon would really fizz up around the chalk but not really the water - Leah

We think we will observe:
- the chalk changing colour
- chalk dissolved in lemon juice
- some capsules holding the liquid will bubble more than others
- some of the liquids will dissolve the chalk and we will just see the residue
- the water and the chalk may go softer
