The Swift class have been carrying out lots of cool experiments over this half term to help develop their scientific skills.
Last week we started the 'Skittles' experiment! Children were posed with the question of... 'What do you think will happen if warm water was poured over a ring of skittles...' The Swifts had great discussions and made plausible predictions. This week, they carried out their experiment to see whether their predictions were correct. It was very fun!
Have a little look below at what we found out...
WARNING: Only a few skittles were eaten before the experiment to test the sweetness of them (By the teachers of course!) 😊
Really cool right? The Swifts LOVED it!
We are going to try a different experiment next week so will definitely keep you posted on how that goes.
If you are a 'Skittle' fan, give this a go. Just re-arrange the Skittles into a pattern on a plate, pour warm water over them / in the middle of the plate and watch what happens... it's magic!
