Fun science!

Talofa lava bloggers! 

Today me and my brother have been doing science experiments and we did two! It was really fun and cool to do it with my brother, Zion. Our two experiments were making an egg float and bouncing bubbles. They both worked, but it took a while for us to make the egg float. Here is the instructions of how to make an egg float: 

what you need:

- salt
- water
- a cup 
- an egg 
- a table spoon

1. fill the cup with water

2. put 6 table spoons of salt

3. stir the salt until the water turns smokey

4. put the egg in

5. The egg floats!

So that was the first one and now for the most fun experiment, drum roll please...⏰
The bouncing BUBBLES! It took quite a while for us to get the bits and pieces, but we did 
end up making bouncing bubbles! Here is the instructions for the bouncing bubbles and what you need: 

What you need:

- a glove (which doesn't mean you get to use any type) that is made of polyester.
- dish liquid
- warm water
- a cup
- white sugar

1. put 1/8 of sugar in the cup

2. add 2 cups of warm water

3. add 1/8 of dish liquid

4. stir it until light green

5. put the glove on

6. get a bubble blower ( or whatever it is) put it in the liquid

7. blow it and bounce it on your glove!


Thanks for reading my blog post and if you want to get a video of it the click on these two links and it will teach your through. Tofa soifua(Goodbye)!

  1. Kia ora Ruta. Those sound like fun experiments. I like your colourful and clear instructions and also your sense of humour with the drum roll bit! I didn't know Zion was your brother! When you were doing the experiments did you think of any more questions that you could investigate?

    1. Thanks Phil, actually No I didn't think of any more questions I could investigate. Thanks for the comment!

  2. Sounds like you and Zion had a lot of fun working on these experiments. What do you think made the egg float? Great to see Zion's smiley face - and yours too!

  3. Hey there Ruta, I love the fact that you and Zion enjoyed this learning together - it's fun when you can share ideas isn't it? The way you have written up your experiments into clear procedures is great, this makes it easy for other people to read your blog and have a go themselves. Your steps start with clear verbs, which are part of the success criteria for writing a procedural text - ka pai!
    I'll look forward to reading your next post! :-)

  6. Hi Rudy and Zion. I was very interested to read your science experiments and how they worked. The way you set them out was very clear and easy to understand. Anyone reading your blog would know exactly what to do by following your instructions.
    You said it took a while to make the egg float. What changes did you make to achieve success and why do you think that was?
    Keep up the great work and we will see you at school soon.

  7. Talofa lava Rudy. Nice job. I liked how the egg was floating and I liked how the bubble was bouncing on the man's hand on the link. How is it that you can bounce the bubble wearing a glove? Do you think that you could add a video of you doing the experiment? Bye Rudy.
