Science Experiment with Sally

SCIENCE EXPERIMENT 20/05/2015

Equipment/materials (what were ALL the things you used to conduct the experiment?): Cardboard/plastic boat which looks like a house with a door, Liquid Soap, toothpick, white pepper, Shallow plastic tray

Hypothesis (what was the prediction you made Before you started doing anything?):  The Soap would move the boat

Steps taken (list as much detail as you can):

1. Fill the tray with water.
2. Sprinkle white pepper over the surface of the water.
3. Put in the boat faced plastic down on the water.
4. Squeeze soap on the toothpick and put it in the door of the house and now it will start to look like a boat.
5. The boat will start to move and the white pepper will spread out
6. This is happening because the soap is going backwards which will make the boat move.

Result (what actually happened, and was it the same as, or different from your prediction?) : The boat did move but I learnt how.

Conclusion (what did you learn from the experiment?):

That water has a surface and a game I can play with my friends. Bugs and insects can walk on the surface of the water.
