We Are Scientists!

We conducted our first science experiment. Take a peek!

Earlier in the week, we predicted how many elastic bands it would take to 'explode' a watermelon. Our predictions ranged from 110 to 1,000,000 bands.

After looking at the watermelon and the type of band we were using, we then made a more educated guess. We 'hypothesised'. 

Our new theories were ranging between 400 and 1000 bands. 

We took turns to put the bands on in 5s as Hannah kept a record with tally marks. 

All in all, it took 640 of our elastic bands to 'blow up' the watermelon!

We will look into why the bands were able to 'slice' through the watermelon next week. 

We had a lot of fun being splatted by watermelon. Luckily, we had our protective gear on; poor Mrs Park was directly in the firing line!
