Fonterra Science Road Show


We had an awesome time at the science road show. Is it easier to pop a balloon with one nail or 5 nails? What kind of light bulb uses the most energy? What happens when you put an acid into milk? Why can you use a vacuum cleaner to float a ball? What can you do to wool to make it really strong? All these questions and many more were answered? We learnt about pressure, vacuums, acids and bases and much more. Mr Marquand even got shrink wrapped ready fro the freezer!! The day was a great introduction to our science inquiry into the material world next term.

  1. We were using red cabbage juice to see which chemicals are acids and bases. It was really cool watching them change colour. Paige

  2. This was very fun and informative, I really liked the live shows like balloons and bernoulli where we learned about air pressure. Charlie

  3. I really enjoyed the science road show. I liked playing about with the experiments and finding out how they work. My favrite experiment was the hover craft.
