Science is a blast!!!

Over the past few weeks we have been working on procedural texts. We have looked at these in three different forms; instructions (Trish's Magic Trick), a recipe (Anzac Biscuits) and a science experiment (Mentos and Coke). We noticed that the vocabulary changed between the different procedures; for example recipes have 'ingredients' and science experiments have 'equipment and appartus'. Some of the more interesting words  were 'hypothesis' and 'variables', which we learned about in our science experiments.
We worked in groups to follow the Anzac biscuit recipe and made some delicious biscuits. We had been researching the Anzac's at Gallipolli and it was great to make the biscuits named after such brave men.




Each of these procedural texts were followed up with a recount. We shall add some of these fabulous pieces of writing over the next few days.

  1. I was surprised when I opened up the banana, because I didn't know that the cotton was slicing it. This was fun. We changed our procedure to make it easier for younger kids to follow.
