Floating eggs

Floating eggs

First we got half a cup of water and tried to make some eggs, army men (Just toys) and many other things.

The egg didn’t float so we came up with a few solutions, one that I came up with was let the egg go off because when it goes off the egg gains holes which lets carbon dioxide in allowing it to float.

In the end we decided to do salt and first we tried three teaspoons of salt but that didn’t work.

Next we tried 5 teaspoons and it started to slowing float to the top.

The water was growing so dense that it was only possible to see when touching the glass.

Secondly we tried an army man but it started floating with three teaspoons, least amount of salt used.

Charlie who was in my group started screaming out the words “The army man is drowning, give him CPR.”

Thirdly and finally we tried a fake golf ball.

It only took three teaspoons again.

finn decided to lick the golf ball which was pretty gross because there was allsorts of things in there.

Slime time

Slime time

MRS.Pederson started by measuring half a cup of H2O / water.

She didn’t follow the instructions correctly but instead of putting guar gum second, she put glitter in.vh

Next she measured out one quarter of guar gum (Not dumped in, sprinkled in) and put one pipette of borax solution.

Two mins later.

Once two mins of waiting for it to become fully mixed, MRS.Pederson put half a pipette of borax solution in.

One min later.

That took a while but atleast it was only half the time because half the borax.

Finally MRS.Pederson added dye.

We got to play with the slime but I was in the second to last group.

It felt like jelly and smells like flour, but still cool.

I thought it would be stiff because all the ingredients would merge together and the guar gum would make a shell around it.

Sharp item

Sharp item

By Riley

Sharp, green, deadly

Pointed, rugged, rough

It attacks and than hunts for a new victim

Staring at it reminds me of being stabbed by it

It feels as sharp as a knife

Slowly eating at it's prey it was hiding in the bush

Attacking prey, this deadly thorn slowly covers the garden in blood

The thorn will go back and hunt more prey

My question is what and who has it atacked

Drifting wood

Drifting wood

Burnt, crispy, solid

Rock hard, light weight

Gazing at it reminds me of a lego minifigure arm or a giraffe's neck

Half submerged in sand lay this drift wood

Peacefully the tide was stirring it about

Dragged back to the sea this driftwood goes

The question is where will it develop?
