Science Experiments

Rotting Apple Experiment

Students made predictions about what will happen when slices of

apples are placed in air, water, oil and vinegar

 

 

Use your eyes to see how the apples have changed in the

next 3 photographs.

What changes do you see?

 

 

Apple Cano Experiment

The students were excited to watch the apple erupt after mixing

baking soda and vinegar inside of a hallowed apple 

 

 

Why Do Leaves Change Colour?

Have you ever wondered why leaves change colour in the Fall? Our students learned that in the Summer leaves have lots of chlorophyll. That's the stuff that makes leaves really green in colour. During the Fall, leaves change colour because they don't have as much chlorophyll inside of them

 

Our students were eager to share their predictions about why leaves change colour

 

 

Can you see the different Fall colours?

 

 

Hopping Corn Experiment

 

The science behind this activity is that when we mix baking soda and vinegar together, they react to produce a gas called carbon dioxide. The gas forms bubbles in the water which circle around the corn kernels.  The bubbles lift the kernels up to the surface and when they get there they pop and then sink again.
