Lemon battery!!!!
In science we were doing lemon batteries to learn about technology and how it goes together. Lemon batteries was one of the seven awesome activities out teacher had set up for us to do.
Making the lemon batteries we use 8 lemons but the light up the same with 7 lemons. At the start I predicted that we need six lemons but six lemons didn't work because one of the lemons was really small so we added two more and the light lit up.
I Enjoyed working with my group to create this because we had the problem solve and create different alligator don't know what alligator cables is it's a bit and two pigs on each side.
To make sure the light lit up we used a volte measurer to measure the vault the average was 8 to 9 but strangely it popped randomly up to 50 volts which I think was a glitch in the machine.
Check out this video which explains how to make a lemon battery it is very easy to do at home so give it a try.

Cotton ball launchers!!
In science we were learning about Newton's first law of motion which is inertia something that still stay still until force is applied to it normally it would keep going but we have objects in the way on the planet such as Rocks grass and gravity. What was we to show inertia was we were making cotton ball launchers!
In this fun activity I found it really hard to roll the cardboard into toilet rolls the reason we have to do this is because this experiment was so short notice to our teacher that she couldn't collect toilet rolls because we were meant to do circuit boards and wiring but they hadn't arrived yet so we had to make them ourselves.
What I really enjoyed was shooting my cotton ball launcher at the big long ruler that the teacher had made with a mocha and some tape and trying to beat my friends. For most of the session I hold the record until Ruby came along and bid it.
Check out this amazing video on how to make talk cannon ball shooter with a pencil to toilet rolls to rubber bands and tape>

Molecules
This science lesson as our experiment we were making changing coloured milk/Molecules. I most enjoyed when we Put the soap into the milk and food colouring when the food colouring smashed to the sides creating something that look like marble art. I found it a challenging not spell the milk or we had to clean it up because there was carpet and it would have made it stinky. This is a really fun activity so if you would like to do it at home check out this link what shows you how to do ithttps://youtu.be/6T3C-0-Djas

Homemade lava lamps
In science elective this week we made lava lamps. Unfortunately we didn't get to take them home because we made them in a group and it'd be unfair of one of us took them home in the others didn't it was very fun when we added the hill and it's the larval and started producing here up to the top and then that it would come right back down and then go back up again.When you added the tablet piece, it sank to the bottom and started dissolving and creating a gas. As the gas bubbles rose, they took some of the colored water with them. When the blob of water reached the top, the gas escaped and down went the water. Check out the school like to see how to make lava lamps at home.
Making bath bombs
Bath Bomb Recipe What you will need: (dry) - 1 cup of baking soda 1/2 cup of citric acid 1/2 cup of epsom salt (wet) - 1 tsp of water 1 tsp of essential oil 3 tsp of olive oil / coconut oil / Almond oil 2-3 drops of food coloring Measure out and whisk together your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Next, in a small cup, mix together the wet ingredients. This is also where you’ll add the essential oils. The next step is very important. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. You’ll want to do this very slowly, adding little drops at a time while mixing. The citric acid is what causes the bath bombs to fizz when it comes into contact with water. Adding the wet ingredients slowly minimizes this affect. Then, firmly press the mixture into the mould. Let the bath bombs dry for at least 24 hours. |
