In your first science lab session we carried out the following tasks:
- Sophie demonstrated how an air-filled balloon and a water-filled balloon behaved differentely when placed over a candle flame.
- We practised observing like a scientist with a burning candle and a sparkler.
Why are we doing this? Our inquiry topic is ‘Matter changes its state when adding or removing heat.’
Think like a scientist! Leave a comment here based on your scientific thinking. Explain, describe, wonder about what we did.
Hi 3L,
This experiment was an interesting one because I have never seen water in big balloons before. I enjoyed watching the sparkerlers but I was a little scared.
