Rubber Egg experiment

During our Science Discovery week we made 'rubber eggs' by leaving an uncooked egg in vinegar for over 24hours (more like 72 hours by the time we got to it!).

Can you describe how the egg felt and what you learnt from the experiment?

Egg shells are made up of calcium carbonate and when it is added to the vinegar (acetic acid) it causes the calcium carbonate to break up.
The calcium dissolves into the liquid and the carbonate reacts to form carbon dioxide gas (this causes the small frothy bubbles).
Eventually the shell dissolves and the carbon dioxide gas will bubble out in to the ari resulting in a 'Rubber Egg!"

After feeling the rubber egg we thought we would test it's 'bouncibility' - check out the video to see how bouncy it was...

Kelly Sport

On Tuesday we had an instructor from Kelly Sports come in and teach us a few warm up fitness games. It was lots of fun and quite competitive!

What is your favourite warm up game to play?

Music with Mal

We had a music session with Mal on Monday. We got to try out the drums, ukulele, guitar and marimba.
Do you know the 4 instrument families? Can you give an example of an instrument from each family?

Science WOW

We conducted a volcano experiment yesterday. Check out the method...and the results. Have you ever heard so much screaming!
