"Science is a way of investigating, understanding and explaining our natural world, physical world and wider universe" (NZ Curriculum).

Students need to lean what science is and how scientists work as well as scientific knowledge.

Science programmes at Eastern Hutt aim to provide hands on investigations that will develop students' curiosity of the world around us and an interest in science.

Slime Time

The Year 2 students have been making lots of different mixtures but today's mixture was the best of all.
SLIME!

To make our slime we mixed together PVA glue, food colouring and Borax solution.
We noticed that our ingredients changed a lot when we mixed them. The PVA went from a runny liquid to a lumpy slime and then a spongy ball when we held it in our hands.




Miss Harrison wrote a poem about our Slime! You can read it here.
