Good Bye, Dearest Aerys!

Our hearts are sad that our dear buddy, Aerys, has gone back to live in the Philippines. We will miss him very much indeed and hope we can keep in contact with him and his lovely family. Mrs Hill, his lovely Teacher Aide has moved to the middle school so we will still see her, thankfully! She was a ray of sunshine, always encouraging and helping everyone.

They dissolved at a noticeably faster rate. We decided to do a second experiment using a glass with hot water and one with water at room temperature. We placed a red coloured block of ice into each glass (these ice blocks had been frozen in a muffin container). The ice block within hot water dissolved much sooner than the one in water at room temperature, just as we had predicted!
