Exciting Experiments

Today, Year 3 children looked at different properties of rocks including density, permeability and durability. We moved around the classroom and completed different experiments. We checked density of rocks by testing if they sank or floated. We used a small square of sand paper to test how durable the rocks were. To test permeability we added few drops of water using a pipette onto a rock and observed whether it was absorbed. We also completed a rock game on Education City and researched rocks using different books.
