New species were found in Room 5

 Room 5 have been using their creativity to create different animals. They put different parts of animals together to make a new animal. All of the animals are very unique. The Kidd-li-winks also named their animal with a unique name.
We have also painted our animals. We have been learning to mix colours to make new colours. We had to be very careful when painting because our creatures are very fragile.

Shnake
Made up of a snake and a snail

Lizafly
Made up of a lizard and a fly

Allilion
Made up of an alligator and a lion

Made up of a shark and a crocodile

Tigon
Made up of a tiger and a lion

 Boctopus
Made up of a bear and an octopus

Lidog
Made up of a lion and a dog

Mouowl
Made up of a mouse and an owl

   

Crocoroo
Made up of a crocodile and a kangaroo

Batibird
Made up of a bird and a bat

Hammerhorse
Made up of a hammerhead shark and a horse

Swordlion
Made up of a swordfish and a lion                                 

Beargerpus
Made up of a bear, a tiger and an octopus

Jellybear
Made up of a jellyfish and a bear

Come to Room 5 to see the new species before they go to their new homes.

Fun in Napier

The Kidd-li-winks had so much fun in Napier. As well as having lots of fun the Kidd-li-winks challenged themselves in different ways. Enjoy some of the photos from our experience.

A huge thank you to all the parents who came on our trip and had lots of fun with us!

Carbon Dioxide

We have been learning about carbon dioxide.

We tasted normal water from the tap

We made predictions about what would happen if we added carbon dioxide to the water.We are getting good at using our prior knowledge to make predictions.

Pushing the button to add carbon dioxide. It made lots of farting noises.

When we put carbon dioxide in the water we observed that it was full of bubbles.

Some of us didn't like it.

Some of us liked it a little bit.

We made lemonade. We started with lemon juice and water (they had to be equal amounts). 

We tasted it. 

We predicted what will happen when we added the baking soda.

Clever kids came up with A chemical reaction. 

They thought this would happen because the acid (lemon) was mixing with the alkaline (base).

   

Lemonade Making on PhotoPeach

We ran out of time to add a very important ingredient (the sugar) to sweeten the lemonade. 

I wonder if the lemonade will taste yummy with some added sugar?

Chemical Reactions

Our Science Experiment

Equipment

Cup

Baking soda

Vinegar

Food Colouring

Some of our predictions were 

The cup will explode because it has an acid and an alkaline.

It will bubble everywhere.

The colour will change when the bubbles bubble. 

Baking soda tastes yuck! Well to most people.

First we put 1/4 of a cup of baking soda in a cup.

Adding a few drops of food colouring

Slowly we poured in the vinegar.
Something is happening!

A chemical reaction!

Waves crashing over the cup

Lava bubbling out of the cup

The vinegar mixed with the baking soda and made bubbles. The bubbles are carbon dioxide. It is a gas like in fizzy drinks.

Boom! The science experiment exploded out of the cup on to the table. It was a dark dark red. The bubbles bubbled up the cup. Pop pop pop pop went the devil bubbles. The explosion speedily happened. If you want to do this experiment you will need two scoops of baking soda one cup of vinegar and four little drops of food colouring. Next you have to put the colouring and the vinegar into the cup to make it go Boom!

Bubble bubble bubble the magic ingredients over flowed like a fizzy drink. It was covering the container with vinegar and baking soda. It was a chemical reaction. When the soda was ready the chemical reaction gushed down the cup. The bubbles were pouring down the cup. Then the bubbles got on the plastic lid. There were bubbles all over the plastic lid and the table.

Boom! The experiment exploded with bubbles coming up and up. Soon we had to watch the experiment. Soon it rose up and red bubbles appeared up fast like the wind. the experiment looked like a volcano exploding down an angry mountain. First we put in baking soda. Next we put in any colour of food colouring. Then we put in vinegar. Suddenly the experiment exploded everywhere.

Pop pop the science experiment started to crackle and fizz over the rim of the cup. Blue crashing waves smashed into the hard sand. The bubbles rose quickly up so you have to watch carefully because I nearly missed the reaction. If you want to do this experiment you've got to use food colouring, vinegar and baking soda. First you put a third of a cup in your container. Second you drip in food colouring in your container. Last of all you deposit the vinegar in the container and something impressive will happen.
