Science is so cool in Room 2

 Aim: The aim of the experiment is to find out what happens to a jaffa lolly when put into a glass of water?

Purpose: To work through and make sense of the science investigation process.

Hypothesis: We predict that the jaffa will melt in the hot water and also in the cold water. 

Christina, Isabella, Sam and Zahra are keen to see what happens to the jaffa.

Result:
The jaffa in the hot water changed a lot faster than the jaffa in the cold water.  The colour was the first thing that was affected, there were swirls of red rising up to the top of the water. Tluang described the jaffa as "lava rock".  We saw the white part of the jaffa begin to crack after about 10 minutes.  There were flakes of this layer peeling off and floating to the top of the water level.  Eventually the chocolate centre of the jaffa was exposed. This took about 15 minutes.

We had to be patient when observing the experiment.  We had to watch carefully to see what was happenting to the jaffa.

We discussed terms such as melting, dissolving, peeling, mixing, reacting, changing, process as we observed what happened to the jaffa.

Next Steps:  Explain the reason why the jaffa reacted the way it did in the hot and cold water using scientific language.  Great work Room 2.
