The children were given a challenge from the robbers from the story. This entailed the children completing a science experiment and learning how to predict. We had a look inside the sack to see if it was our IPad's that they stole. However, when we opened it we took out five bottles of vinegar and five tubs of soda. We then looked under the mystery blanket where we had some instructions. As a class we discussed what predicting is and the children said, "it's going to explode, it will go pop, it will bubble." We then tested our predictions by doing the experiment which the children LOVED doing. We added sparkles and colour to see what would happen.
The other experiments included making gloop using cornflour and water. This developed new words such as "runny, soft, slimy, sticky, smooth." The children watched the gloop change properties as they picked it up and watched it drip through their fingers. They enjoyed watching it drip into the tray and tried to catch each others drips.
