I see ink!

In Year 5 we discovered about ink. What we liked about discovering the ink was that it is exciting and messy! We learnt that whiteboard pen ink didn't spread out when you put water on it but the other pens inks did. we put one or two drops of water on each filter paper of ink to make freaky patterns.

Yo-yo raisins

On Tuesday we did an experiment with raisins. We put some raisins in some fizzy water and they went right down to the bottom. We left them for a little while and then the bubbles made the raisins float to the top. The bubbles were gas.
We acted it out and wrote a play about the yo-yo raisins. It was fun and exciting.

Inks

Two days ago we did a ink test to see what happened to the ink when we put water on it . The ink from the handwriting pen went blue. The ink from the felt tip went all over the paper.

If kidnappers write a letter we can find out who it is by putting a bit of ink from their pen on filter paper and putting a drop of water on it.

Interesting Inks

We got filter paper and we folded it up into four and cut it into four. Then we put different inks on. We got syringes and we squirted one drop of water on. The ink spread and different colours came out. Each pen was different. Then we wrote secret messages and worked out which pen it was. The kidnapper wrote in whiteboard pen.

Disaster slime!

In Year 5 we were doing something called slime. We used borax substitute, water, glue, food dye and jam jars. We had lots of fun but it all came to a disaster in the end. We learnt that borax substitute does not work for making slime. So our kind Miss Wylde made a mixture of cornflour and water and said we can bring this home. When you punch it or put a force it acts like a solid but when you are gentle it acts like a liquid.

Disastrous slime!

On the 19th October, we done a slime experiment. I can tell you that it didn't turn out as good as we expected because the borax substitute had spoilt it at the end. Also Mrs Playle accidentally poured away the borax solution. Another thing was that Mrs Playle again accidentally poured away our cornflour mixture down the drain! But at least we all had fun!

Slime and Interesting Inks

Yesterday we made slime but it came to a bit of a disaster! So Miss Wylde put cornflour into everyone's jar except for mine, because my slime worked. It was a bit runny but you could pour it into your hand and play with it. By this morning it had turned quite hard.

When we investigated inks, we noticed that the ink from one of the pens didn't spread so we could catch the kidnapper.
