Chemical Popguns Experiment

We did the chemical popgun experiment. You have to mix an acid and a carbonate together in a container, then put the lid on and see if it pops! Vinegar and baking soda popped the best. Lemon juice and baking soda popped too. The diet coke did nothing which was amazing as last week anything we put with diet coke made it fizz. We have some more investigating to do with diet coke!

Poems to Recite

Here is a link to our new class wiki. On it are some good poems you may choose to recite for the competition.

The competition will take place in week 9 - but there is no harm getting a head start on learning your poem!

Remember the success criteria for poem recitals:

* Know the poem off by heart
* Read with expression
* Make eye contact with the audience
* Use appropriate gestures
* Stand straight and still
