Conga lines rock!!! Dancing and Oobleck = FUN TIMES!

Oobleck...it's a liquid...No, it's a solid...whatever it is....it's an a...

Oobleck.......cornflour and water = a whole lot of fun!

Coke Geyser...Yeeyah!

Diet Coke and Mentos. If you want to do this as well...(ask your parents first) we used fruit mentos on our first geyser. The fountain wasn't that big. The mint ones are definitely better as the video shows.

Yeeyah! Blowing up a plastic bottle. Learning at it's best. BOOM!!!!

Baking soda + vinegar = Carbon-dioxide....
Carbon dioxide trapped inside a bottle = BAAAAABANNNNNGGGG!!!!!

Learning in Room 7 is always fun and explosive! Yeehaaaaaa!!!!

Kitchen Science is the BOMB!

Oh yeah! I wish I could have captured the joy on our faces when that plastic bottle exploded! BOOM!!!!

Room 7 Scientists.

What a shambles! So much noise, so much water everywhere. So much learning going on. We are using normal everyday items to test out scientific concepts. We are learning to predict, observe and explain our way through fun science experiments. Stay tuned because tomorrow we're doing an experiment that involves an egg and vinegar....should be smelly! We love it!
