Immersion- what was it?

This is one of our pictures showing some Room 5 students participating in Immersion. At this station, Lily is engaging in the 'Tissue Box Pull' experiment. For this experiment we needed to drop the sinker off the edge of the table. For the sinker to drop really fast there needed to be no blocks in the tissue box. When Lily placed blocks in the tissue box, it caused the box to move slower, making the sinker hang off the table instead of dropping. We learnt that the force used is called 'Gravity', which pulls everything down to the ground.

Learning how to write instructions

In Room 5 this week we have been learning how to write instructions. Miss Jansen helped us to make strawberry mousse. We needed to have the correct ingredients to make our mousse and when it was made we put it in the fridge to set. It tasted very sweet and was a bit like a jelly.
