Surprising Results!

The children were quite excited about opening up the jars to see what had happened. The first thing they noticed was that the milk had seperated into liquids and solids and had a very cheesy smell when the jar was open. The egg was undamaged and didn't smell once we'd rinsed it.
 
The egg in the water was completely unchanged as well.
 
The egg in the cola had turned brown but wasn't cracked at all whereas the egg in the vimto had turned brown and was cracked!
 
When we looked at the egg from the orange juice we were surprised to discover that it wasn't very discoloured but when we rubbed our fingers over the shell, crumbs of shell came off on to our hands!!
 
As for the vinegar, that had completely dissolved the shell. The white was squidgy and slimey and the yolk felt rock hard!!!!!!!!
 
So it's not just sugar that attacks your teeth. Make sure, if you have vinegar on your chips or fresh orange juice for breakfast, that you clean your teeth really well.
 

Year 4 Bake Lamingtons!!!!!!

 
Open-mouth smile
It is believed that lamingtons were invented in the  kitchens of Government House, Brisbane when Lord Lamington was Governor of Qeensland as a creative use for sponge cake!!!!!
 Lamingtons have become such an institution in Australia that they are a popular means of raising money for community groups. These fund raisers are known as lamington drives. They are often baked on Australia day which is January 26th. 
 
 
 
It was lots of fun baking the lamingtons and really messy!! I didn't really like the coconut so I had to take it off. It was the second best thing i've done all week, the first is maths. Winking smile

It was really good. I am glad my Mum and  Nanna came to help us bake them. My favourite type was chocolate without coconut.Ninja

Yr3 Science

Year 3 have been learning about 'Teeth and Eating' in Science this term. This week we did an experiment to see which liquids do the most damage to eggshells. The shell protects the egg just like enamel protects our teeth. The liquids we chose were orange juice, milk, water, vimto, cola and vinegar. We thought cola would be the worst because of the sugar in it and water would be the best. What do you think? Check out the results next week!

William - Carefully placing the egg in the jar.

Liam - Measuring the amount of liquid.

Kongphop - Measuring the amount of liquid.
 
Finlay - adding the liquid to the jar.

Nick - Cleaning the measuring jug.
