Brooke N shared a science investigation with the class on Friday - a marshmallow catapult! What a great way to explore physics! Great job Brooke - I bet you had a lot of fun trying it out at home too.

Our Science Alive session on Friday was a big hit. We explored a variety of forces and came up with a plan to save the three little pigs from the big bad wolf.
After lunch we explored oobleck. Oobleck is made from cornflour and water and is a non-newtonian fluid. Under pressure it becomes a solid and when it is not under pressure it becomes a fluid. We found out that we could use oobleck to protect an egg. First we put an unboiled egg into a bag full of oobleck. Then Vianca dropped it from the playground - and it didn't break! Can you think of some other uses for oobleck?
