In the Unstoppables, we are doing a lot of practical, hands on science experiments! We have been learning about kitchen chemistry, the scientific method and how to record experiments using a list of instructions.
Room Two recently made sherbet, and found out about how acids, bases and the mouth's saliva create carbon dioxide bubbles. From the look on the kids faces some of the taste testing had interesting results!
Room Three found out that when you mix milk and vinegar, the casein in the milk seperates. This is a plastic substance which they have formed into cubes. These cubes are drying on their window sill and will be used to make dice! Room Four did the same experiment and are making bouncy balls.

Room Four made butter yesterday. You can read all about it on their blog page here. It was delicious!

| Yum! |
Room Five inflated balloons today with carbon dioxide. They added baking soda to a bottle of vinegar. This created a chemical reaction which made carbon dioxide. This bubbled up and inflated the balloon.
