Egg-speriment

This week we have to look after an egg baby until Friday! First, we had to put a little hole in each end of the egg and blow all the yoke out. then we made a little bed out of a plastic container, some tissues and crepe paper. Then we wrote his name (Eddie) on his pillow.

Looking after an egg baby is a very dangerous procedure, here are some of the reasons why.

.It could easily be stood on if left on the ground.

.People might try to crack the egg baby.

I Predict:
some eggs might crack, but who knows my egg baby might just survive!

It is Wednesday and I am looking after Eddie (the egg baby).
Today we have bathed our egg babies and we have just had gymnastic session with Eddie. We had a struggle at break time, over who was watching Eddie.

26/3/08

It is after break time and Eddie has just won a ballet competition against all the other baby eggs. Eddie's ballet teacher has just been very complimentary about Eddie's ballet and has awarded him with chocolates! We have just decided that when we bathe Eddie we will use a rubber ducky.

Melting Icebergs

Is it getting hotter?

Are the icebergs melting?

Is the world temperature rising?

Each year is getting hotter. This is part of Global Warming. The Polar Bear's have no homes, this is because the ice flows are melting and the sea level is rising.

Question: Is this true? Are the levels of the oceans rising as the ice flows and the icebergs melt?

I Predict:

Once the ice cubes have fallen into the water the ocean level will dramatically rise and when it melts it will also make the ocean level rise.

What actually happened:

When the ice cubes fell into the water, the water level rose. All though, when the ice cubes melted the water level stayed exactly the same!

Explanation:

This is because,when the ice falls into the water, it pushes the water up. When

the ice melts its content is already in the water.

Fact:

.When an iceberg melts, the water level will not rise because the iceberg was already in the water.

.When ice melts on land and falls into the water, it causes the ocean level to rise.

Before

After

The icebergs are getting smaller.

Soak some spuds

Slice a small potato lengthwise into several pieces that each have two flat sides. Place some of the pieces in one dish and the rest in another. Fill both dishes with water. Add two tablespoons of salt to one of the dishes, and label it "salt water." Let the potatoes soak for 15 minutes.Compare the potatoes. Is there a difference in firmness? Why?



I predict:

Salt water will be firmer because it will go between the cracks. Salt water will join the potato.

What happened:
The salt water potatoes went softer.

Why don't I ever get it right!

From your teacher - well done!!

Invisible Script

Do you ever get the itch to really tell someone something without the teacher knowing? Well here's how!

What you can use:

Salt water

Milk

Coke

Tea

Vinegar

Lemon Juice

A blunt Twig

Heater

Printer paper

Procedure:

Get a piece of printer paper and a bottle of milk. Then simply dip the twig in the milk and write your secret message with it ( be careful not to scratch the paper!). Give the piece of paper to your friend and tell them to simply apply heat. Then see how it turns out!

I predict:

As soon as you apply the agents to the paper it will become visible. Then the agents will dry out and become invisible. When you apply heat the writing will become visible again!
