Fabulous Frogs!

This term our science topic is

We are going to learn about the frogs that can be found in our local area about their habitat.

To start we are going to explore the ponds (puddles!!!) around our school and see if we can find some frogs. We can certainly hear them, hopefully we will be able to observe some too!

Here's two photos I took of a frog that Jack found in the school yard on Tuesdsay.

Here is a picture of the frog that we found on our walk around the school yard today.

The following website will help you to identify the frogs that we found in our school yard.

Science Experiment

Today we experimented with various ingredients that we have in our kitchens.

1. Lemon juice and water. We found that it created a homogeneous mixture.

2. Lemon juice, water, and oil. We found that it created a heterogeneous mixture.

 

3. Milk and chocolate topping. We found that it created a homogeneous mixture.

4. Milk, chocolate topping, and lemon juice. We found that a chemical reaction occurred because a new material was formed (gas - which we could see because of the bubbles) and that it no longer looks like the original materials as the properties changed.

 6. Bicarb Soda and vinegar. We found that a chemical reaction occurred because a new material was formed (gas - which we could see because of the bubbles) and that it no longer looks like the original materials as the properties changed.

Just as a recap on last term's topic, here's a game on Game Up that you can have a look at.

What's the matter with matter?

Game up on Brainpop - Matter Sorter

Sort Matter into Solid, Liquid, Gas, or Plasma? Are you surprised by some of the answers?

Help with your Space Project

Your project should consist of 6 paragraphs (one for the introduction, four for the main body, and one for your conclusion) as well as a bibliography.

You can choose to present this as a formal written report, a slideshow presentation, or a poster.

For more information on how to write an information report, and what I expect, please click here.

This is a short clip taken from the Created Cosmos DVD that we watched a couple of weeks ago.
