Inquiry experiment

This week for inquiry we did an experiment. We were trying to experiment how much material that was going to be absorved.

First I had to decide what material we should get for the experiment. The material I decided was the sand. When I decided what our material was, I had to get a beaker that 100ml and then put 5 dips of blue colouring.

Next I put a small jar and put it on top of the scale. When I put the jar on the scale I reseted the scale back to 0 so I could put the sand in. Once I put the sand in I had to make sure it was 50 grams. The reason why it is 50 grams because the teacher want different resaults.

Lastly I had to pour the water out of the jar but not the sand. Once I got all the water out I had to put the water in the millilitre cylinder bottle and that will show how much water that was absorved.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt about a new experiment.
