Yesterday, 6B mummified tomatoes. They had so much fun! Please ask them about the process!

Inspired by the Dr Seuss story, we made our own Oobleck and investigated what state of matter it is. During these activities, we discovered that Oobleck is a unique type of liquid called a ‘Non-Newtonian fluid’ which behaves like a solid when pressure is applied. Well done for being super sensible scientists and having fun while doing so!

To kick start our new Science case study, we have been exploring what solids, liquids and gases are. We have found examples around the room, described their properties and explained why they are so different by how their particles are arranged. Super start to the new term! Well done 4B!

Inspired by the Dr Seuss story, we made our own Oobleck to investigate states of matter. We were intrigued to discover that Ooblek is a ‘non-Newtonian fluid’, meaning it behaves like both solid and liquid. We then wrote about our observations. Great fun, well done all!
Whilst investigating Oobleck, Kason asked a huge amount of questions to build his understanding of its, in Kasonās words, āweird propertiesā. One of his questions was, āWhat does it smell like?ā I told him I didnāt know and to smell it to find out.
āNo,ā he said. āYou smell it!ā
Knowing what was coming, I took off my glasses to āsmellā the Oobleck. Here is what followedā¦
We learnt that the Oobleck splits over time to form a watery layer on the top which is what I mainly got all over my face. However, when this watery layer evaporated and my face was dry again, the Oobleck solution left behind a powdery layer which was very tricky to get off! My eyelashes were still white when I got home! Never mind – it was worth it to help your children remember their learning about this Non-Newtonian fluid. Kason had a great time too!
Oh, and to answer Kās question: It doesnāt have a smell!

Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? No itās a non-Newtonian fluid! Years 3 and 4 have been making and investigating Oobleck this week. They were asked to pay particular attention to its āstate of matterā properties and to record how it behaved in a variety of situations. As you can imagine, we had great fun whilst learning lots in 4H!
More investigation photos will be added next weekā¦
Well done everyone: I heard great discussion about the properties of Oobleck – you did a great job of washing it all off of your hands and into your bowls too so we didnāt block the toilet drains! Miss Trindall will be pleased with us all!

We observed Miss Blackham dissecting a lamb heart, as part of our expedition āHow can a healthy lifestyle impact our body and mind.ā
What an amazing the day. The children have learnt about creatures that live in rock pools. They were really gentle with the sea creatures and many of them held them. The Aqualease team commented on how polite, respectful and well behaved the children were too.
We hope you enjoy watching our video. There may be more photos to attach.

We have all had a very exciting day today, Aqualease came to visit us with some rockpools! We saw a starfish, hermit crab, spider crab, coral, shark eggs and lots of other things. We hope you enjoy our video attached below of our exciting expert visitors. Some of us were very brave and even held the sea creatures. Thank you to all parents for your support towards this amazing experience, without you this could not have gone ahead.
