Our toothy experiment...
Yesterday we found out that egg shells are similar to teeth.
-We soaked one egg in water all night.
-We soaked one egg in milk all night.
-We soaked one egg in coke fizz all night.
We predicted what might happen. Some of us thought the coke egg would crack. Some of us thought it would disappear.
Then today we looked at the eggs to see what happened...
The water egg didn't change.
The milk egg went whiter.
The coke egg went brown.
We decided it was just like our teeth. If we have fizz before bed without brushing our teeth - the sugar in the fizz will go into our teeth and stain them and make holes.
Then we scrubbed the eggs with a toothbrush and toothpaste - Do you think we were able to get the stains off the eggs?

Photography
Today we have been learning about photography. We are getting ready to enter something in the media awards. We have learnt about zooming in and out and about some different perspectives. We used these ice cream pottle lids as frames to practice looking at what might be in the background and what we want up close.
