It looks like you all had a very interesting afternoon.
Write back and tell me what happened during the experiments. Did everything go as Mr Walls expected?
If not, why do you think that was?

I liked the bit where Mr walls put like this liquid in with the water and It all fizzed up to the top and was going to exsplode I realy enjoyed this afternoon it was Awsome.
ReplyDeleteYea it was AMAZING i liked it were MR.Walls did that thing with the ball when the energy from one ball transfered into the tennis ball to make it bounce supa high
ReplyDeleteYesterday afternoon was brilliant I liked the first part where Mr Walls dropped two balls at the same time and the big ball made the little ball soot up in the air.

ReplyDeleteIf any of you are planning to do any experimenting at home, please ask your grown up first.
ReplyDeleteOk I will They already said It will be a good idea.
DeleteHello Year 4,
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly carried out a range of science experiments with Mr Walls. Perhaps my favourite was determining whether an egg is boiled or raw. Would you trust your judgement enough to allow someone to crack the egg over your head?

The science experiments look fab. Science wasn't that much fun when I was at school.
