Base 10’s Wonka Chocolate Room Designs!

Wonka’s Letter:

In English, we are writing a narrative which will be set in a Chocolate Room (like the one in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) of our own design.

After receiving a letter from Mr Wonka, we set out to use our imaginations and creativity to design our own Chocolate Room.

 

Our Mind Maps:

AI

Following the creation of our designs, we inputted our ideas into AI which then digitally created our rooms! We can’t wait to use these as further inspiration for our writing!

 

Base 10 Digestion Experiment

 

In our digestion experiment, we mashed a banana to mimic chewing and added water for saliva. This gooey mix went into a plastic bag as our “stomach,” where we added vinegar for acid and squeezed it to represent digestion. Then, we slid the bag into tights, acting as intestines, and squeezed again to let nutrients pass through while leaving waste behind. Who knew digestion could be so entertaining (and messy)?

Base 10 Tooth Decay Experiment Findings

Our Findings:

Vinegar = The whole shell was covered in slimy layers.
Blackcurrant juice = The whole shell bubbled and stained purple. Orange juice = The whole shell was covered in slimy layers.
Water & Milk = They stayed the same.
Energy Drink = Half was covered in crystal like scales.
Tea = It was stained a darker colour.
There was only slight improvements on the toothpaste side (left) apart from with the energy drink egg. On that egg only the scaly crystals only formed on the non-toothpaste side showing the toothpaste protected the shell.
Based on our observations, milk and water are the best for your teeth as the eggs showed no sign of change, they stayed exactly the same.
This has showed us the importance of brushing our teeth and drinking beverages like fizzy, sugary and acidic drinks in moderation.

Base 10 – Nrich Problem Solving

Base 10 have had a competitive start to the morning with this NRICH Maths problem. In pairs, each player took turns to roll a dice 4 times and strategically place each digit within a 4-digit number, they then compared the two numbers and the largest number won! Safe to say we were very engaged and enthusiastic about this task!

 

Voting for our Base 10 School Councillors

Base 10 Tooth Decay Experiment Set Up

Egg-citing science in action in Base 10! We’re diving into a slightly smelly experiment to see how different beverages affect hard-boiled eggs, which mimic the enamel on our teeth. Join us as we uncover the potential effects of tooth decay and learn how to keep our smiles healthy!
