Boys Science Fun


While the girls were coding in the hall, the boys from Huritini went out onto the courts to do science experiments with Otaumatua.

We put sugar and baking soda in a tray.

Then Miss Dovey carefully added a special ingredient and lit the sugar.

We carefully watched what was happening using our observing muscles.


Henry thought it looked like poos coming out of the ground.
Ivan thought it looked like moving worms.


The boys predicted if we touched the burnt pieces, it would be hard like a rock. Once it had cooled down we touched a small bit and it was really soft like ash.
 Our next experiment was a blast...
We experimented with 5 different types of fizzy drink to see which one would explode the most.

We added menthos lollies to the fizzy bottle and waited to see what would happen. This fizzy bottle only exploded a little bit.

Osten got to pull the cord on this fizzy bottle and it exploded the biggest. Luckily he didn't get wet!
