Learning Area: iExperience: Mentos, Coke and Baking Soda Experience

Learning Observed

We had an explosive afternoon this Friday as we experimented with Mentos, Coke and baking soda. All of the learners were very excited to see what would happen when we put the lollies (Mentos) into the coke. I was really impressed with Anisha’s description of the reaction as seen in the video below.

Evidence of learning

Anisha is able to draw comparisons with what she has seen before to this new experience.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Anisha is demonstrating her ability to make Connections between what she knows already and what is new. She is making sense of and building her understandings of these new experiences. (Thinking). In sharing her ideas with the group she is practising the key competency of Participating and Contributing.

Next Learning Steps

Ask simple questions about new experiences e.g. I wonder what would happen if… or I wonder why….etc… Make predictions and review predictions at the start and end of an experiment
