The Grade 5s visited the Cape Town Science Centre. These are some of the fun activities they experienced.
Space – We enjoyed a movie about space that was projected on a unique igloo tent. Colourful and exploding experiments were demonstrated in the lecture room. Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks were learnt about in the Science Lab. Experiment – The learners melted sugar to show the metamorphosis of rocks. Natter and snack time between activities. Construct – The girls got to work on a construction site building using sponge bricks. Explore – The girls got to explore and play in the Science Centre.

Our Balloon Powered Cars
In Natural Sciences and Technology we made balloon powered cars. Our teachers supplied us with a balloon, three straws, a piece of A4 cardboard, 4 bottle tops and skewer sticks. We all had different ideas. One learner made an ice-cream van! Everybody had incredible ideas and they were all utterly amazing. I am so happy that we all had a great time creating our balloon powered cars from different bits and bobs.
