Science Experiment

We made frost and dew today!! We had to think like scientists and predict what we thought would happen in this experiment, and then we observed what did happened. In one tin can we had water and crushed ice and in the other tin can we had crushed ice and salt mixed together. It didn’t take long for ice to start forming on the outside of the  tin can. This happened because the water vapour (air) around the can was below freezing so it started to freeze into crystals to make a frost!

Thunderstorms

In science we have been learning about Thunderstorms. We watched a short clip of a thunderstorm and then wrote about what we could see and hear and then we explained how they happen. Here are Shania's and Brileigh's.
 
Bang! I watched a video on a thunderstorm. I saw lightning. It went down to the ground and looked like a tree with no leaves on it. I could hear the thunder rumbling and grumbling like a giant’s tummy. Thunderstorms happen when raindrops smash together in the clouds and then break out.

Boom! Boom! I saw a big flash of lightning. It was flying across the sky like an angel. The lightning looked like a root in the garden. I could hear a rumble like a giant with a hungry tummy. I could also hear light rain floating from the clouds. Thunder and lightning happen when the water in the clouds smash together and try to break out. When they do, they shoot out and cause thunder and lighting.
