D3's Elephant Toothpaste Experiment
This experiment created lots of foam, each bubble was filled with oxygen. We learnt that the yeast acted as a helper to remove the oxygen from the hydrogen peroxide. Since it did this very fast, lots of bubbles were created.

Experimenting with water
D3 has been learning about how states of matter can change. We experimented with water and observed how water can change from a liquid into a solid when we freeze it. Ice can change from a solid to a liquid when we heat it. Water can change from a water to a gas when we boil it because it evaporates and turns into steam.
Solid, Liquid and Gas
D3 have been learning about the three states of matter, solids, liquids and gases. We acted like particles in each state of matter, we pretended to be a solid, liquid and a gas.
D3 was pretending to be a solid. So we had to pack together tightly. We wanted to show that a solid has shape and volume.
D3 was acting like a liquid and showed we were close together but could still move passed each other. We were pretending to be liquid particles in a big drink bottle.
D3 was pretending to be a gas and spread out and move in all directions. We looked like air.
