FLOATING EGG EXPERIMENT - 5 GOLD

How do you make an egg float?
5 Gold students worked scientifically to saturate a salt solution to increase the density of the liquid, which caused the egg to float.
Try this at home to impress your family and friends...follow the instructions on the video below.









CHICKEN TIME IN 5 GOLD

Students in 5 Gold have really enjoyed having chickens in the classroom, naming each one and watching them grow.  Holding chickens and 'hypnotising' them was a popular activity.
We were fortunate to witness several hatchings over the past week, to see a very frail and exhausted baby chick emerge from the egg, but soon become an inquisitive and very cute chicken.
