We carried out three experiments this week. One of our favourites was 'Balloon Boarding', we did not predict the results!! We learned that when a person stands on a balloon all the pressure from that person is concentrated on one area and so, the balloon bursts. However, when a person's weight is spread over several balloons, they do not burst as the pressure is spread over a larger area. We started with one person on the table and got the whole way to 7 before we heard a pop!!
We also made cool lava lamps and went outside for the explosion in a bag experiment, (sorry if some of us smelled like vinegar after school!!)
Lastly, we cant wait to hear everyone present their group projects on their chosen famous scientist :)
