Room 21's Science unit

 

Towards the end of term 3 Room 21 students completed a science unit called Variable Jellies. We worked in groups and using a basic jelly recipe (not one of the packet jellies) we completed 5 fair test experiments in an attempt to create the best jelly in the class!
During each of the experiments we were only able to change one variable- that means we could only change one of the ingredients or the amount of ingredient used. When the jellies were set we tested them against our success criteria- this was the best part! Our group used this to determine what variable we would change in our next experiment.
We invited 5 judges and they were all brave enough to say yes! We were all proud of our jellies and feeling very confident.




Our judges were very impressed with our jellies!




Congratulations to Te Aomihia, Hannah, Megan and Bree who created the winning jelly which they named Gas Pedal.
