Marshmallow Science

A few weeks back, Room 3 did science with marshmallows. We were looking at changes the happen when marshmallow is mixed with water. We were learning to look closely and track changes over time. 

Here's some photos of our investigation. 

Here we are with three cups of warm water and the same coloured marshmallows in each. We watched them for a while and then mixed it. 

Here's Mrs Wigley working with a group. 

Here we are looking closely and recording what we saw on our graphic organiser. 

We did some thinking about what we thought was happening. 

We discovered that the water changed colour as the marshmallows dissolved. We wondered where the marshmallow went. We also wondered what would happen if we put two different colours together in the same colour. We watched the water turn a yellowy/brown colour. 

We wrote about our investigation using our graphic organiser for detail about what we saw. 

We had a lot of fun and we got to eat a few left over marshmallows when we were done.
