Science Week...

During science week we put an egg in vinegar to see what would happen. We predicted that the shell might crack, the egg might explode, the vinegar might go bubbly and the shell might go soggy. The result after a few days: the egg was like a rubber ball or balloon. The vinegar had dissolved the shell and although it was still egg shaped, it was soft and rubbery. It was still soft though, as we found out when we bounced it from a little too high....oops!

We also predicted what would happen if we put different coloured M & Ms in opposite sides of a water pot. The results...have a look!

Next week we will continue with sound as part of our 'Switch on to Science' topic.
