What a fantastic day Foundation Stage had becoming scientists and taking part in our very own Science experiments!

In the morning we had a visit from Sublime Science, this was lots of fun and we got to take part in lots of different experiments learning all about chemicals mixing to create reactions and how different elements, like H20, react in different situations!

In the afternoon we carried on the Science fun with some of our parents! We had a carousel of experiments to explore!

We read the ‘Gingerbread Man’ together and the decided to look at what would actually happen if a gingerbread man hit the water? We decided to dunk our gingerbread men and count how many dunks it took before something happened! We estimated the number of dunks we thought it might take and recorded these on a tally chart. We then carefully observed and watched!

We loved planting beans together with our parents! We thought about what beans and seeds need to grow and what would happen if one of these things was substituted. We decided to take away the soil and just give our beans light and water. We placed them in a bag with some wet kitchen towel and stuck them to our classroom windows. We made our predictions and can’t wait to observe them over the next few weeks!

Our favourite experiment of all, was probably making rainbows! This involved a lot of Skittles, so we loved eating some of the rainbow! we placed them next to each other on a plate and added water. We loved seeing the colours run and mix together! We watched very closely as the ‘S’ on the Skittles slowly faded! We thought about what would happen if the water we added was colder or hotter and if this would effect our experiment!
