Science is Fun!

This week we have started on our topic "Science". We have been using mixing and colours to form our experiments. Our first experiment was "Making Water Walk". We used red, blue and yellow food colouring, paper towels and water in cups to demonstrate how the water is absorbed by the tissues and mixes to make new colours. Our second experiment looked at mixing colours by dropping some dish liquid in a bowl of milk that had food colouring in. We talked about friction and how the dish liquid reacted with food colouring. The kids loved seeing the colours whirl and swirl! After these experiments we wrote scientific report to show - what they need and what to do. Great learning Room 4! Here is a video of the milk and food colouring reacting with the dish liquid.

  1. Hello Team Maunga-iti
    I loved watching the video of the mixing the milk with the dish washing liquid. It must have been so much fun to watch the reactions happening.I wonder why the milk and colours moved like they did.
