We were Scientists in Room 3 & 4

We went to Room 3 on Friday to look at making sounds using bottles and straws.Would we be able to make noise blowing across the top of the bottle? We wondered what it would be like with different amounts of water in the bottles???

Miss Hutchings showed us how it was done. She filled the bottles with water to different heights and then she blew into them. I wonder why they sounded different?

Then we got some straws all different lengths and we were wondering what they would sound like when we blew into those? Would they make different sounds? We got to take the straw pipes home to share with our families.

After being Scientists in Room 3, we went to Room 4 to talk about a big word called "Velocity". Mrs Irwin gave us a toy car, a marble and a track. We had to see which went the furtherest and then we had to make a high ramp.Did it make the marble and car go faster? What happened?

Will these ramps make our cars move?

What will happen when we make a higher ramp?


We had a great time being Scientists in Team 1. We have lots of questions on our walls and now we may be able to answer them after doing our "experiments".
