Volcano experiment

We are learning the geographical features and we built a volcano in class with vinegar, soda and paprika. This was the result.

Estamos aprendiendo el vocabulario de geografía y construimos uno en clase con vinagre, bicarbonato sódico y pimentón. Éste fue el resultado.

Volcano experiment

We are learning the geographical features of earth, so we made an experiment to understand the volcano formation.

They made it with vinegar, sodium bicarbonate and water, the other ingredients were optional.

The questions they wondered were:

1. What happens if we don't pour water?
2. What happens if we pour a, lot of soap?
3. What happens if we pour some glue?

CLIMATE CHANGE EXPERIMENT

To understand the climate change, students of 6th made an experiment.

We used four plants. Three of them had a special condition and one was normal. They watered the plant with the same amount of water everyday.

The special conditions were:

1. A lemon

 

2. A glass box

3. A plastic with holes around the plant

4. A normal plant

After this, children had to measure the temperature and relate it to the climate change. Here we can see some information about it.

The first day, the teacher gave the explanation of the experiment.:

And throughout the days, the plants were changing...

1. The normal plant

 2. The plant watered with lemon

3. The plan with plastic and holes around it

4. The plant in a glass box

CONCLUSIONS

They had to answer to three questions:

1. Normal plant: Nothing especial happened, only that it was a little dry because we did'nt water it at a long weekend in November.

2. Plant with lemon: The children watered the plant with lemon, the lemon is an acid and it was intended to understand the acid rain in our environment

3. The Plant surrounded by a plastic with holes. The plastic was intended to understand the glogal warming and the holes were intended to understand the ozone layer hole, this plan was hotter than the previous two ones.

4. Plant in a glass box: This was intended to understand the global warming and how a minimum change on the temperatures can carry big changes in the lives of plants and trees, this plant was the hottest plant and we could see vapour and how the plant couldn't absorb the water.

And this is the assessment of the activity

VOLCANOES EXPERIMENT MADE BY THE 6TH GRADE STUDENTS

We are learning the volcanoes, how they are formed and how they get into eruption. After watching a video, children made a volcano in groups.

And these are the volcanoes made by the children:

And these are the results:
