The Senior Classes had two great science workshops during the week. On Tuesday the children were introduced to the concept of strong and weak acids and the pH scale. The range of colours given by red cabbage juice at the various pHs was demonstrated. The children were asked to investigate the “recipies” to make a range of samples – red, pink, purple, blue and green, starting with 2 colourless liquids and red cabbage juice. On Wednesday they had a rocket workshop where the children worked in teams to understand the science behind rockets. They then designed, built and launched their own water rockets to simulate a realistic rocket launch experience. A great learning experience was had by all!
