Hello Cooper friends and families,
This week the Cooper children have been busy conducting
experiments. Our first experiment involved dripping different coloured dyes
mixed with water onto paper towel and observing the outcome. The class
were quite fascinated by watching the dye expand when it hit the paper
towel and how this resulted in the colours mixing together.

It's dropping in and mixing. The yellow is mixing with the green. Varish
Our second experiment was to observe what happened when we filled
a shallow bowl with milk, added four drops of dye and then added dish drops.
The class spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the dye would alter its
shape and position when the dish drops were added. We soon discovered that the
dish drops altered the surface tension of the milk and this meant
that the dye was pushed to the side of the bowl.

It's mixing. It's making blue with purple. It's colourful. Andrei
We hope you all have a great weekend
