A crazy science show

Kia ora everyone, it's Maori Language week. But that's not what I'm posting about today (I probably will later in the week). Today, we had a science show in the hall, which came from Australia.  Get this off me! We learnt lots, and I think that was the point. For example, did you know that water is the only known substance (at normal air pressure) that can be liquid (water), solid (ice), and gas (water vapour)? We also learnt quite a bit about mixing colours. Mix green, blue, and red together and you get brown. Ew! It even tasted horrible, according to the critics. They made huge bubbles that could probably fit a TV inside, as well as showing us rockets that use headache tablets 󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢󠀢and fly off unexpectedly. This hairdryer could blow you all away! You can make a ball fly if you put it above a hairdryer. Interesting fact: Polymers turn liquids into solids. We also learnt how nappies work. If you don't want to know, then skip 5 l
