These ruins of a Greek temple are over 2500 years old! Amazing to think people lived here all that time ago.
How did they put the huge blocks of stone on top of the pillars? Remember these people had no cranes!

We Get Crazy!
This week we got crazy experimenting with crazy putty. We found that when we added a solution of Borax and water to PVA glue a chemical reaction occurred, forming a solid that we could mould into a ball and bounce.
Our conclusion was:
When two or more molecules are joined together a new compound is formed. This can also cause a change in state.

Our Science Learning
Exploring Change with States of Matter
This week we were learning with Miss Winter about Oobleck. We really enjoyed making Oobleck and testing how various items sank and then raised to the surface of the Oobleck. We found that when we poured the Oobleck it acted like a liquid, when we grabbed it in our hands it oozed through our fingers and when we put pressure on the Oobleck it behaved like a solid.

If you were trapped in a bath full of Oobleck, how would you escape?
This website might be able to help you find a solution to your problem.
