School Picnic at Bowentown Beach

Our smiles showed how happy we were.

It was a fantastic day for swimming.

Wow! Look what we found, crabs in shells at Bowentown Beach.

Yesterday we were learning about hot air balloons. We did experiments to find out what made them float.
Experiment 1

We put a balloon on top of an empty bottle and put the bottle into hot water.

Some people thought the balloon was going to pop.

Some people thought nothing was going to happen.

One person thought the balloon would fill up with air.

What happened

The hot air filled up the balloon. We learnt a new word inflate.   

Experiment2
We put the bottle into ice water.
Most people thought the balloon would go down.
What happened  
The balloon started to go down because the air was cooling. We learnt another new word deflate. 

We are wondering why the balloon did not deflate quickly.We are going to find out how the hot air balloons deflate.
