The Super Science Challenge was for all Year 1 to 6 students to present an activity, experiment or project, in order to determine the best scientists in our school.

1. WATTLE GROVE
PRIMARY SCHOOL

2. All students from Year 1
to Year 6 participated in
the challenge, by
researching an
experiment or topic to
present to their class.
Then 2 students were
chosen from each class
to present to the year
level, to decide which
one would represent
that year and present
their project at a whole
school science
assembly.
There has been lots of
science and excitement
happening around the
school in the last 2
weeks and this coming
week it is the Super
Science Assembly.

3. This Year 1 is doing an
experiment with the aid
of his teacher, to see if
you can use vinegar and
Bicarb to burst open a
sealed zip lock bag.
It got awfully tight , but
not quite to bursting in
the time I was
watching…

4. Steven in Year 6 is
doing a similar
experiment this time
trying to launch a film
canister into the air
using vinegar and an
Alka-Seltzer tablet to
create a gas under
pressure.
You have to be quick or
you lose all the fizz
before you get the lid
on. Needs a bit of
practise to get it right…

6. In this experiment, Paul is doing the old egg in
the jar experiment. How do you get a hard boiled
egg into a jar with a narrow neck. Paul managed
to do it twice. The harder part was getting the
egg out afterwards.

7. Here is a bit more fizz!! Adding an Alka-Seltzer tablet to
a bottle of coke. Adding a balloon quickly will inflate it
if you are quick enough…

8. Fiona is doing a mixing colours
Experiment.

9. Maddison is making Oobleck with corn flour
and water. It is interesting as it thickens under
pressure and then returns to liquid once the
pressure is released…
Scientists call it a Non-Newtonian
Fluid…
We will add more photos from
the Super Science Assembly,
later this week…THE END
