Today in Inquiry we did a science experiment. We had alcohol and baking powder and also sand. We lit the baking powder on fire and it made these charcoal worms. Then we put sand on it to let it go out. We tried to do the experiment because we tried to make a model of the Sun. It smelled like smoke, and then the smell went away then came back. We put the ingredients in a black metal tin and it did not break or burn. We sat on rocks while the teachers were lighting the baking powder. It took them 10 minutes.
It was like the sand was growing upwards like a tall tree, growing in your own garden. We did the experiment because we’re learning about the sun and how it burns.
