Year 5 STEM Week 2022

For STEM week, Year 5 conducted two different experiments.

On Wednesday, we took our learning outside to cause a volcanic chemical reaction by mixing an alkaline and an acid. We were glad that we weren’t inside the classroom as the vinegar smell was overpowering!

The following day, we assembled paper helicopters and made predictions about how long they would take to fall to the ground. We then investigated how changing variables such as size, shape and weight affected the speed of the helicopter through the air.
