First of all we read a great story about Mad Margaret's Experiments In The Scientific Method.
Then we used these ideas for our own experiment with the balloon on a skewer. Mrs. Bone asked us if we thought we could put the skewer through the balloon.
Most people thought we couldn't. Then she showed us the photo with the skewer going through the balloon. In pairs we came up with our hypothesis about how to put the skewer in without it popping.
We had lots of different ideas to try. Some groups said to put the skewer in sideways, some said to put it through the top and others said just to be gentle. We tried out every group's hypothesis.
