Our water experiment

Today room 1 went to a the swimming pool and we made it a fun morning for room 1&2 non swimmers Mr Walker and Mr Rudd brought some supplies like Tin foil, pebbles, coral & shells.

I made a competition where you make a tin foil boat and fill it up with pebbles you count how many pebbles you put in it before it sank.


A lot of pebbles sank so when we were done we cleaned the pool.I could put 37 before it sank.


Follow had a little vacation he had heaps of fun


Now him and Action man are now sun bathing buddies

    Hello,
    my name is Julien. We have done water tests at our school before, it was very fun. I taped 2 ballons together and blew it across the pool, we won aswell as others and got 6 points. Who floated best?

    Hi Samaria,
    Im Rico and I'm from Mount Annan Christian College. I think that water experiments are fun and educational at the same time. I remember doing a water test like that as well. We made boats out of aluminium foil, and filled it up with as much sticks of wood we could get in until it sank. How do you think you could have made your boat better?

    Hi Samaria
    That looks like it was heaps of fun and it looks like action man found a new buddie! Why did you do that? Was it for an experiment or for fun or anything else?

    Hello,
    My name is Ian, at school he did a water experiment too, I blew up two baloons and tied them together, our goal was to get it to float across the pool. What was your favourite part in your experiment?

    Hi I'm Laura and i'm from Mount Annan Christian College in Australia, This seemed like alot of fun. We did something like this with our class except we used little cubes instead of pebbles. We also had to make a boat that moved from one side of the pool to the other without us touching it. Then we had to make one that would sink really slowly. This was called the amazing race! Our boats were pretty good! Who had the best boat from your class?

    Wow Samaria,
    it sounds like you had a lot of fun! What was your favourite part of the day? Who put in the most pebbles and how many did they put in? I've heard many adventures about your class with action man but what was the most fun time you had with Follow?

    I hope you had fun!

    That activity looks like alot of fun !
    My class did something similar to that activity. We had to make a boat made out of foil and and count how many cubes we could put on the boat untill the boat sank.
    I like how you added photos on your post because it makes everything much more interesting !!
    Did you do any more activities ?
    Happy Blogging !!!!

    Keep up the amazing work Room 1!

    Hi im Crystal and im from Mount Annan Christian College

    I am enjoying quad blogging with you and the other schools, i hope that you are enjoying it too.
    It looks like you guys had fun making foil boats and filling them with pebbles.
    I love your posts and i look forward to seeing more of them, great work!!!!

    If you could make boats and fill them up with pebbles again, what do you think would be the best substance/ material to use?

    Please check out my blog @ 6smacccrystal.blogspot.com

    Wow it looks like you guys had GALLONS of fun (gallons?, get it?) At my school we recently had an assignment. Part of it was to make a boat out of whatever materials we could get our hands on. My boat crashed and burned (Not literally but still it failed pretty hard.) and to add insult to injury, the other two members of my group were away! So I had to create all the other components by myself in one day! What would you have done in this situation?

    Hey rm1hns,
    I'm Mikaylan from MACC(Mount Annan Christian College).I love the photos that you posted.My class plus other years 5and 6 classes did something similar to what you did except our classes did it in a blown up pool in our green area.We did not use pebbles, we used unit blocks.One question did you have groups or did you do it individually?We did it in groups and my group got up to 446 unit blocks before it sunk.It was my favourite part of the science unit.What was your favourite part of the day?
    Happy blogging.
    Mikaylan!
