Magic Cup

This is Zaina's Vacuum cup experiment. The method was .... 

1. put a layor of water on the plate. 2. light the match and allow it to burn using a lemon slice to hold it straight. 3. Place the cup upside down over the match.

The air around the flame is pushed in all directions. Warmer air needs more space than cooler air! So, the air pushes under the small gap round the rim of the cup and lets the water in, pushing the water upwards!

Traditionally Korean Calligraphy

Today Room 1 went to the hall to learn about traditional Korean culture and Calligraphy.
Traditionally calligraphy is used to write poems, proverbs, quotations from bibles,
mottoes and much more.

We also learned the Four friends for a calligrapher. 1.Paper, 2. Brush,
3. Black ink bar (or black ink), 4.Ink stone (or white place).

The oriental brush originated in ancient China. Later, it was developed as an art in China,
Korea, and Japan.
In ancient times, Chinese carved their characters on shells or bones and then much later
they used brush and paper. Koreans applied this art to Korean characters.
The paint brushes are usually made with rabbit, goat and weasel hair.

To be a good calligrapher you need a peace of mind, ready to concentrate and to control
the brush.

We all enjoyed calligraphy and the Traditional Korean experience.

Rainbow sugar

For science week, some people taught the class a science experiment. Abby's experiment was called 'Rainbow Sugar'. The first thing Abby did was put some water in the bowls. Next, she put three skittles in a triangle and let the colours drain out. When the skittles had gone white and the colours were merging together Abby put a sugar cube in the middle. The ice cube either absorbs the colour or repels the colour after some time. When the sugar cube dissolved Abby changed some of the independent variables to see if anything would change!
