Careers Expo

At the Careers Expo on Friday we really enjoyed seeing 2 areas. They were engineering and the information on working in a professional kitchen. We enjoyed this because we are interested in it and they also looked quite a good jobs to get.
We really enjoyed the chief because it seemed to be fun to cook in the kitchen and make stuff that is hard but is really yummy.

Balloon and Tray Experiment

                               Balloon and Tray Experiment

                               If we drop a balloon and a tray at the same time what happens?

-The Balloon drops slower than the tray.

And if we put the balloon on top of the tray and drop it it would pull the balloon down with it.

-The balloon drops at the same speed as the tray!

I think the reason for this is wind Resistance of the tray helps the balloon fall faster.

Science Experiment #1: Water Quality and Contamination

Today we did an experiment to investigate the effect of contamination from fertiliser on ground  water supplies. We used red jelly crystals to represent the fertiliser; gravel and sand to represent the soil; and tap water to represent rain water. We found that the fertiliser leached quickly into the ground water supply in the aquifer (plastic container).
1. Adding "fertiliser"

 2. Adding "rain water".

 3. Fertiliser has leached through the "soil" into the ground water.
