Science Week

As part of Science Week,  Room 12 looked at liquids.

First we got all the equipment ready:

We used:
- red coloured water
- Oil (in a vase)
- eye droppers

We all had a turn and carefully used the eye droppers to pick up the coloured water and drop into the oil.
We noticed the oil stayed in little balls.

Then we mixed the oil and water .... it mixed together to begin with ... but ended up looking like this:

We saw the oil on the top and the coloured water at the bottom.
We thought that the 2 liquids would mix together - but they didn't!
Oil only likes to mix with oil and water only likes to mix with water.
Mrs Orange said the oil floats on the top, because the oil is less dense that the water.
Look at your salad dressing at home - you will see something similar.

Happy experimenting!
