Egg Shell Experiment

Over the past week class 5 have conducted an egg shell experiment. They have kept eggs in different liquids such as: milk, cola, water, orange juice, blackcurrant and vinegar.  The purpose of the experiment was to see what impact the liquid has on our teeth. They found out that the egg shells were damaged least by water.

Science investigation

This afternoon we carried out an investigation to find out if woodlice prefer dark or light areas to hide. We found 9 woodlice on the playground and put them into a container half full with soil. One section of the container had a piece of wood in it, this was the dark section. We left the woodlice for a few hours so they could get used to their new environment. After leaving them for a while we noticed that all the woodlice were hiding under the piece of bark. Our conclusion was that woodlice prefer dark places to light areas. Once we had finished the experiment we put the woodlice back where we found them.
