FingerPrints & experiments

I was learning how to make connections between what we are reading and what activities we are doing. 

This week we were reading about fingerprints and what shape they have, you can have an Arch, Simple Loop, Double Loop, Right Loop and Whorl.

 We were stamping our fingerprints in ink  into our books to see what type of fingerprints we have. I noticed everyone has a different print, if you pressed to hard on the ink pad, you wouldn't be able to see your finger print properly, you had to print it a few times to see the shapes in your fingerprint.

We also did experiments, these were to test the different  reactions of water and types of white powder, we tested baking soda, washing powder, salt and citric acid. Once we mixed these together we put the little yellow paper in to see what colour it would turn. these are our results.

I enjoyed putting in the yellow paper into the water mixture to see what color it changed! It turned from yellow to black (use Citric acid)
I found it tricky to write down the mixtures of water onto my book and the color of the paper was.
Here is what I have now!
