Week 4, week 5 class

-

 ❤This week in science we did a super cool and fun experiment! This week we talked about playground surfaces again and how those can be an external factor for how students react and play on playgrounds. We talked about how certain surfaces can make injuries more or less prone due to injury in students, which makes playgrounds more or less fun to play on! 

❤For this experiment we were given an egg and a mission. We were to create a surface that our egg could land on, without breaking, from a 1 meter drop. For a while we struggled with what materials to use. We went through 2 or 3 eggs before we found a surface type that worked for our egg! 

❤These are the different materials that were given to us to use to create our surface. 
❤Fail! 
❤These three pictures are from our last run of dropping the egg. We ended up finding out that the egg did not break when we dropped it onto the soft surface of tire chips and cling wrap. We then took this experiment further by dropping it from two meters! Our egg broke from two meters but was successful with one! 
Although we found our perfect playground surface match, it took us a lot of trial and error and broken eggs to get to that point!

Week 15, final week of science ;(

-
 This week in science we wrapped up all of our class sections. We still did some pretty fun stuff in lab and also took of final in our last lecture class.  In lab, we played a really fun game that taught us how to make observations and inferences. We were given a capsule with a mystery item inside. We had to use observations to find our partner who had a matching capsule with the same item on the inside. It was really fun trying to find our match! After we found who we thought was our partner, we had to write down what observations and inferences. Then we wrote down how confident we are that we are a match, then wrote what we thought was in our bottles. We were 100% a match which was awesome. I loved this experiment/ game and would defiantly do something like this with my future students! After this we did another small experiment with baking soda and vinegar.   Then in lecture this week, we took our first chemistry test, yay, but last test/ final for our class. I lo...
