Sunsmart in the Toaster?









This week in Room 1 we designed an experiment to find out what would happen to a gingerbread man shape as he got hotter and hotter in the toaster! We cut out our gingerbread people from slices of bread and decided how long we wanted to toast them - 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 on the heat scale. We predicted they would get browner and browner as the toaster got hotter and hotter! This is what happened.
We were right! The gingerbread people got browner and browner. How could we stop them from getting burned?

We can be sunsmart and cover up from the sun. Could we cover up a gingerbread person and protect him from the heat too?
Lachlan made him some tin foil trousers and popped him in the toaster.
Everyone was amazed! He was safe from the heat under his trousers!
WE will all make sure we cover up in the sun too!

Wow Room 1 you are learning a lot about being sun smart! I'm glad I wasn't put in your toaster.
You will have to tell your big buddies what you have learned.

Love Mrs Chao
