Bean Stalk-ed

An experiemnt to see if beans need soil, sun and water to grow.

Equipment: 5 cups, 15 beans, labels, pen, soil, plastic bottle, dark paper

Method:

In each of the 4 cups place 2- 3 spoons of soil. Leave one cup with no soil.
Insert 3 beans in each cup
Now label each cup as follows:
Cup 1: Just water
Cup 2: No Sun  
Cup 3: Soil, sun and water
Cup 4: Greenhouse effect
Cup 5: Soil no water

 Watch everyday and see what happens to the beans. If needed, place water a tablespoon into the cups that need water.


 This is to show that light, water and soil are needed for seeds to grow. Light has natural energythat is cinverted to food for the plants. Soils have nutrients in to help seeds grow and water is needed there is not only flexability when grwoing, it also keeps the plant hydrated.

Volcano Experiment

Image
Aim: To see a reaction between an acid and base. Equipment: Washing up liquid, Vinegar, Cup or glass, Baking soda, Food colouring- Red & Yellow or orange Method: 1 Make sure your volcano is in the kitchen or outside 2 Add 2 tbsp full of baking soda 3 Add 1 tbsp of washing up liquid into the cup 4 Add a few drops of the food colouring 5 Quickly pour in just under a quarter of a cup of vinegar. Results: You will see foam rising/coming out Conclusion: Mixing the acid (vinegar) and the alkali (bicarbonate of soda) and releasing bubbles of carbon dioxide CO2. The washing up liquid is just there to trap those bubbles so it flows over the ‘volcano’ like real lava!

Catapult

The young ones today collaborated and designed in making their catapults. It is not an easy task- there are many ways of making catapults so working on the design was a challenge where the students had to agree on. After the design process, the students built their catapult and started firing their cannons!
