Teeth and Coke

The tooth from home.

What we did
We decided to put a tooth in coke because we wanted to see  what would happen. (Laure)

Prediction

I think it will go a bit stained and get holes in it and it will  dissolve. (Toby)

It will start to go black and rot then dissolve. (Ali)

I think it will disappear. (Jessie)

I think it will go rotten and black and then it will start to dissolve and then it will start to go to liquid. (Poon)

I think that if it stays in long enough then it will get holes in it and it will turn into a bit of acid. (Guilli)

What we found out...

At 2:30 - after about 6 hours, the tooth is starting to look a little bit brown...I'm glad it is not still a working tooth in anyone's mouth!

We have a holiday tomorrow - Constitution Day - Falling on December 10 every year, Constitution Day, a public holiday, commemorates the historic event on December 10, 1932, when King Prajadhipok (Rama VII), graciously presented the first-ever constitution to the Thai people. (From Ministry of Culture, Thailand website).

This means that we will be unable to show pictures of the tooth during the next 36 hours...

What will it look like when we come back to school on Friday?

Student Council Reps and...It's not part of the topic but...

Well done to Joe and Punn, the brand new, sparkling and enthusiastic 3W Student Council Reps for Term 1 . We had our class election today and children voted anonymously for their choice.

A big thankyou to ALL of the children who PARTICIPATED in the election but were not the overall winners. These were:
Seb, Anika, Richie and Ali. Everyone took a RISK and stood up in front of the rest of the class and said why they thought they would be a good Rep and also told us a little about their ideas for what could be changed.

I'd like to say a huge well done to Seb, who took this risk AND has only just started at Patana this term.

...have a look at this site. Move your cursor across the river and see what happens...amazing!
