Solid or liquid?
We mixed 2 cups of cornflour with 1 cup of water.
The paste looked like a liquid.
When we tapped it with our fingers it was quite clear that it was a solid.
We could make balls out of it like play doh, but..............
when we stopped rolling it, it turned back into a liquid and slid through our fingers.
Messy but magic!
Releasing our butterflies
One has crumpled wings and one is still stuck half in its cocoon.
We released them all. We hope they fly away to a happy life.

The science of bubbles
In our classroom we talked about bubbles.
They are always spheres no matter what the bubble wand is like.
They have interesting colours, but lose most of their colours just before they burst.
You can make them go the way you want by moving the air beside them.
They will burst if they land on your hand or anything else, unless your hand is covered in bubble liquid.
BUBBLES ARE FUN!

Rockets galore
We had a wonderful time in the field launching all sorts of rockets:
We had a push rocket, a stomp rocket, an elastic rocket.
We also had an air rocket and launcher
and we had a water rocket.
The big rockets needed a big pump to launch them.
