Science Activities in Room 10!

30/11/2016

We have been investigating Electricity in 6th class recently. We discussed atoms containing positive and negative charges and the effect they have on objects and creating electricity. Opposite charges attract each other! We carried out experiments with balloons where we rubbed off negative charges (electrons) from our hair which were transferred onto the balloon and when we brought the balloon near small paper pieces they stuck to the balloon like magic...OR electricity had a role to play! We have also been looking at plants and how they transport nutrients and water. We studied how they make food also - photosynthesis. We carried out an experiment to show the transport of water through a celery stick.
