3rd Class celebrated Space Week with different activities each day. We learned all about the earth and the different layers that make up the planet. We then molded our own planets out of clay and painted the layers from core to mantle.
While learning about the moon we decided to check out how craters are formed with a fin experiment involving flour, cocoa powder and various sized marbles.
We tested out which type of cola would make the best “Rocket Fuel” with the coke and mentos experiment. We figured the cola that produced the highest fountain would have the greatest force and therefore the make the best fuel.
Finally we were delighted to take part in the Dream Space webinar all about our solar system and learning how to code our own Space Invader computer game.
