Science


Yesterday we went to the science room to learn about fire. The usual science teacher was sick so Mrs lee had to teach us. It was a successful lesson as we were playing with fire and the school is not a smouldering mess of rubble.You'll be pleased to hear that no casualties were sustained Which is good... I think.
We learnt about the properties of fire and did some interesting experiments.Like did you know that if you hold a match in the smoke of a freshly put out candle the candle will light. Also we held a bowl over the flame and it went black at first it looked burnt but you could wipe it away it was only soot. Soot is unburnt particles.We also learnt that if you put a flask over the flame the flame will go out. this is because the flame gets no oxygen and then suffocates.
