States of Matter - Our Science Incursion

Today, a Chemical engineer called Sandy visited our school to talk about matter (solid, liquids and gases) and how they change depending on the type and amount of energy they're exposed to. She also had us do some experiments that involved an explosion, changing temperature and playing with a non-newtonian substance that's a solid and a liquid (oobleck).

Our first science experiment

James – today we did an experiment with different temperatures of water and putting sugar in each cup to see what it did.
Jenny – at the end of our experiment we put it in the fridge and tomorrow we will see what happened
Jacob – we had hot water, boiling water, freezing water and cold water. We put sugar in each of the cups. The boiling hot water dissolved the sugar the fastest

Angelo – in the boiling water cup the sugar dissolved the fastest
Jake – it was very inspiring for me and my classmates because I didn't expect the sugar to go in the boiling water and disappear, compared to the other ones where you can still see the sugar
Grace – we all had pieces of paper to write down what we thought about the experiment
Adol – some people think it wouldn't look interesting to do, but it was fun to find out the results
Natasha – the experiment was pretty interesting because after putting the water and the sugar together and stirred it, there wasn't any sugar on the bottom anymore, except for the cold water. Then we put the cold water and the boiling water in the fridge. I wonder what’s going to happen next. Do you know?
