Yesterday on Thursday, we had a reliever named Mr Ty. We did science and fun challenges. First we did a gummy bear experiment where we put gummy bears in 3 different cups or capsules and in 1 we put water. In another 1 we put vinegar and in the last 1 we put baking powder and water. When we put them in they started to grow and turn white.
After morning tea we did our next experiment which is cup phones! We needed to build our cup phones by cutting a hole in the bottom and knotting the string in the holes and then we designed the cups and wa la! A cup phone! I worked by myself for this experiment.
For the last experiment, actually this is more engineering. But we made a structure with spaghetti sticks and marshmallows. For this I buddied up with Tegan. We chose my design over Tegans because she didn’t really know what to do. But our structure was so strong that we could stick a spaghetti stick in the middle and lift it of the table.
My Favourite part about Today was the marshmallow challenge thing and it was my favourite because we got to eat the Marshmallows at the end. My favourite thing that I learnt was how the string of the cup phone had to be straight or else you won’t hear anything. Here is a photo of the Marshmallow and spaghetti challenge!
