Room 10 - Wonderful Wai

Room 10 are thoughtful thinkers and we aroha science.
We created an experiment to find out more about the wonderful liquid of wai (water).
You can try this experiment too!

You need:
  • 3 x clear jars
  • Paper towels
  • Water
  • Dye to colour the water

First we made dye in the clear jars.
Secondly we folded a paper towel into strips and placed each end in the
coloured water.
Next we made predictions about what we thought might happen.
Then we observed to see what did happen.

Zaidore says…
"My prediction is that the colours are going to change colour and I think the colours are going to get darker.

My observation is that I see the colours are changing colours."
We are also asking questions about the experiment.

What if we had ten different colours in ten jars?
What if we used five paper towels instead of just one?
What if we used different kinds of paper?

Next we are going to investigate variables and see what might happen if we change
some.
