Science in Room 19

Our school wide science focus this term is 'Thinking like a Scientist". Through this the students are encouraged to develop their own curiosity and generate/ask their own questions with the experiments we do.

This week we carried out an experiment where we placed wooden skewers through blown up balloons.  Many thought this was impossible.  We had great fun and plenty of popping balloons as we rose to the challenge.  Many students were successful and well done to Kennedy who managed to get over 10 skewers through her balloon before it began to deflate.  

We had many questions and had a great class discussion about our thoughts and ideas.

Below is a YouTube clip explaining the science we discovered and also a few photos of our fun!
