Chelsea brough some plastic ‘Butterfly People” for Morning meeting today.  She said that they sink in the bath.  We thought we would test this to see if it was true.  Lachlan said, “We will do an experiment.”  We remembered the other experiments we have done this year.  We do experiments when we want to find things out.  The butterflies did sink.  Lachlan said, ” We should try them up the other way.”  They still sank.  Mrs Gayle said, “We should put them in slowly.”  They still sank.  We put them on the table and after Morning Meeting Lachlan and Anders tried to float them on a plastic bag.  They gradually sank.  We got a foam tray and they floated – even if we turned it up the other way (“Like a mountain”) – Lachlan.  Persistance paid off and the boys got those butterflies to float.
