Inside the Big Blue Box is...

It was a box with science stuff in it from Hutt Science. 
The theme of this box is 'Sweet and Sour'.

We opened our big blue box today and inside was lots of lunch boxes and some red cabbage!!
The lunch boxes had all the things we needed for the experiments.
We didn't do the experiment that needed the red cabbage.

We decided to make sherbet. All the things we needed were in the box.

helping each other

measuring the ingredients

waiting to taste

Mmmmm - not sure about the taste!

 We had a lot of discussion about what it tasted like and what happened to the powder when we put it in our mouth - it dissolved

Our question was - where did the water come from??
We had lots of ideas
Sophie said the powder mixed with the saliva in our mouth and it dissolved.

We learned that when the citric acid and baking soda mixed with our saliva, it creates Carbon dioxide and this causes the fizzy sensation on our tongue.

It was a lot of fun.

We made a flow chart about what we did...
