the one with the midterm projects pt. III

On the third day of presentations our science class gave to us:

  1. Balloon Rockets: this is another project we did last time around. But still fun for kids. String, balloon, straw, tape. Guess how far the balloon will go!
  2. Tornadoes: I always enjoy this fun activity. Two pop bottles taped together, with water inside, to create a tornado/funnel effect. We put a jellybean inside ours to make it more like a real tornado. Then the water started leaking out.
  3. Solid/Liquid Mixture: I don't really remember what this one was.
  4. Jellybeans vs. Tastebuds: this was fun but I didn't really know how we were supposed to use our different tastebuds to tell what the candy was. Britany liked the popcorn, but I don't think anyone else did. Next time, use Bertie Bots Beans [Harry Potter inspired jelly beans]! Those would exercise all of our tastebuds!
  5. Light Sources: lamps, flashlights, flames, candles, anything to light the way.
  6. And more Oobleck than we needed: more more more. Goodness.

blog you later,
