Today Room 12 did the very important job of analysing the two science experiments the Maunga Team have been doing this term.
The first was compost in a jar. We were surprised to see that the contents of our jar had changed significantly over 6 weeks. Have a look at one of the photos to read the amazing observations the students made. We concluded that the compost in a jar was very successful and something easy enough to do at home.
We also wrote up the findings from the buried rubbish experiment. We found that the fork, cardboard, paper towel and lunch packaging had completely or mostly decomposed. The fruit cup and lid had not changed at all. The orange was the biggest tsuprise as it had ripened but nothing had started to eat it.
It has been incredible learning to watch these experiments over term 2.
