What's in the bag?

Today we found a bag outside the chemist just laying in the road! Who on Earth could it belong too? What could be in it? Hmmm...this needed careful thinking and a bit of detective work! We all had some great ideas about what was in the bag! Some thought it was a scientist's or chemist's bag, with dangerous potions in! Others thought it belonged to James Bond.

What do you think could be in this bag?

'It belongs to a farmer'

'It belongs to a miner. There are matches and tnt in there'

'It belongs to Gerrard'

Some of us thought we shouldn't open the bag in case it had dangerous things in. So Jake and Ashton both said  at the same time 'We need a decision alley!' Listen to some of the reasons for and against.

In our decision alley we decided that we should open the bag-but we need to do it very carefully...

Extreme reading!

Look where Badgers and Squirrels have been caught reading!

In a suitcase!

On a truck!

With a snake!

On the loo!

More messy science!

Today we made elephant toothpaste, a bottle blow up a balloon, more gloop, volcanoes and pompom poppers! The fun science has made Miss BB feel all warm and fuzzy!

We all had to sit at least 2metres away and Miss BB had to wear goggles to be safe.

Adding ingredients

Not a lot happened the first time!

We decided to add more yeast

Adding more ingredients

It all fizzed over the top of the bottle!

Bottle balloons!

Working together to make pompom poppers

Messy science!

Today we have been doing lots of messy science. We made mouse rockets, volcanoes, hoop gliders and gloop and we also played with magnets. We learned a lot about how forces work today.

Hoop planes

This one flew really high!

Squeeze!

Magnets!

Gloop!

Brilliant buggies!

The team work was great! Lucy explained how to get her team's car wheels right!

Making our ramps

We had to make ramps for our investigation. Levi knew that the ramp has to stay the same every time and Logan knew that the buggy would change.
Jake's group had to think whether their tape measure was in the right place and whether it should move at all. They also had to think about letting go of the buggy the same way each time. Lots of thinking!

Bulldog buggies

Today we investigated how far our bulldog buggies would travel. First we had to make them! We had to work together.
Shannon and Annie realised that you have to put the clips and the rulers the same way up.
