In our initial experiment, we investigated the buoyancy of eggs in various solutions. Initially, we observed that an egg placed in a cup of water would submerge, but interestingly, when we introduced salt into the water and repeated the process, the egg began to float. This observation sparked a series of experiments in which the children of Room 9 formulated hypotheses, tested their ideas, and meticulously recorded their observations.

In another captivating experiment, the students of Room 9 explored the interaction between static electricity and lightweight materials. They ingeniously employed a balloon to demonstrate this phenomenon. By tearing a piece of tissue paper, crafting a whimsical illustration upon it, and affixing one end to the table's surface, they created a delicate apparatus. Through a series of iterative trials, the students discovered that generating static electricity by rubbing the balloon against their hair for approximately 3-5 seconds, and then positioning it carefully over the thin tissue paper, induced captivating vertical oscillations.

The tamariki had a great time and our thanks goes to Mel for gifting the cookbook!
