ENGLISH
Poem Writing: Safe Haven
Find your sanctuary, your haven of peace.
Close your eyes, and let your imagination flow free.
Write a free verse poem about a place where worries fade,
Where comfort and calm gently cascade.
Is it a sun-drenched beach with whispering waves?
A cosy nook filled with beloved books and tales?
A forest path where sunlight filters through leaves?
Or a bustling kitchen filled with laughter and sweet treats?
Share your poem with us and let others discover their own havens through your words.
SCIENCE
Rainbow in a Jar ๐๐งช
Let's create a colourful science experiment right in a jar!
You'll Need:
A clear jar or glass
Different coloured liquids (e.g., water mixed with food colouring, fruit juice, vegetable oil)
Honey or golden syrup
Dish soap
A spoon
Instructions:
Carefully pour the honey or golden syrup into the bottom of the jar.
Slowly add the dish soap, then each coloured liquid, one at a time, tilting the jar slightly to avoid mixing the layers.
Observe the beautiful rainbow effect in the jar!
The Science Behind It:
The liquids create layers because they have different densities. Denser liquids, like honey, sink to the bottom, while less dense liquids, like oil, float on top.
Discussion:
What other liquids could you use to create layers?
Can you find out the densities of different liquids and predict how they will layer?
How does this experiment relate to the different layers of the Earth?
How does density affect objects in our everyday lives?
Share Your Rainbow:
Take a photo of your rainbow jar and share it with us on social media! We'd love to see your colourful creations.
JOKE
