We were really lucky to have scientists from Science Made Simple come and share their enthusiasm and knowledge with our children. This fantastic science show explored the different states of water in an exciting and interactive way that really made children want to find out more!
Children from year 2 to year 6 were investigating and answering lots of different questions about what can be done with water. They found out that by jumping on ice or hitting it with a hammer changes it from solid ice cubes to crushed ice but not straight into water. They also explored how water can be squeezed when they got wet from a water gun!
There was a lot of tension and excitement when a balloon filled with water was held over Mr Alf’s head and burned. The children learnt that water can hold a lot of heat. It was only when the scientist popped the balloon that Mr Alf got wet.
The children loved the show. It has reignited the curiosity that children have about why things happen.
