We started celebrating Science Week by conducting a couple of experiments!

Firstly, we are looking at how water travels through plants. We filled clear plastic cups with water filled with food colouring and included celery. Each group has their own sample and we drew a line to show the water line. Over the week we will watch how much water the plants will absorb and how it’ll travel through the plant using the red and Green food colouring!

Our second experiment so far was seeing how to create lava lamps! We filled two jugs with water and food colouring. We added vegetable oil, then we got to the fun part! To create a chemical reaction, we added effervescent alka-seltzer tablets to the mixture to create lava lamps! We couldn’t believe it when we saw it!

We will be conducting more experiments throughout the week for science week!
