Year 3MC students had a hands-on experience last Thursday during their incursion on solids and liquids. Enjoy the photos and recounts below.
I can’t believe it! A scientist came to our class today as we had an incursion. First, we sat on the mat and she introduced herself she said “She hasn’t been teaching at a Christian school for 5 years” so she was so happy she came to our school. Next, she told Mrs Camps to put us in groups I was with Hailey and Nandani. Then she told us to go to our desks and get the container with the balloons we each got a balloon she said to work out witch balloon has a liquid, gas or solid. After that, we did lots of other things. My favourite part was when we put the wax and the chocolate in the boiling water. The wax melted put after that a time it became solid again the chocolate didn’t even melt. Rachelle
My favourite thing of the science incursion was when we put honey in the hot and cold water. Jenelle from Hands-on Science taught us these words viscosity, classification and malleable. First we had to find the honey and then Mrs Camps put hot water in our bowls and then we had to put the honey (that were in tubes) in the hot and cold water the one in the cold water froze the one in the hot water turned into liquid (it looked normal) it was really FUN thank you Jennelle!

My favourite part of the incursion was when the wax was in the foil cupcake holder and we put it in a green little container with hot water in it and it started to melt it was very satisfying but that still isn’t my favourite part a while later there was another cupcake holder with a little fold down the middle to separate the salt and the sugar the peg we had, went on the side the sugar went on and the salt went on the other side. The lady Janelle lit the candle for us while my team took turns holding the cupcake holder over the little flame the sugar and the candle melted it smelt nice we had to hold the thing with the peg it was fun the salt turned a yellow-brownish colour after that we looked back at the wax it was dry and the water was still hot.I wish she comes back!

The first experiment we did was we were trying to find out what was in the balloons.There was a solid in one a liquid in the other and gas in the last one. Then we had lots more experiments but my favourite one was we burnt the newspaper, plastic and foil. The newspaper burnt straight away and the plastic melted and then the foil didn’t burn! Nandani
Guess what guys? Today we had an incursion it was sooo much fun.We were learning about liquids, solids and gas. My favourite one was a one where you put honey and you put the honey in hot water.The teacher's name was Jenelle and she works for a company callled Hands-on Science. We learnt a lot of words like Viscosity, Classification and malleable. My whole class had lots of fun and me too. Sahara
My favourite part was when she burnt the foil, plastic and lastly the newspaper because it was the most exciting part for me. We looked at it the foil didn’t burn it was fine but the plastic melted and the newspaper burnt. Elvis
