Science 

Stick towers

Our science this term was about a few things but our first science experiment was to create a structural design stick tower by using a piece of play-doh and 24 sticks. 

The plan was to build a stable tower with your resources and then put it in front of a  fan and turn it on to level one which is the lowest blow level on the fan than just keep raising the level to untell it gets to level three than it has to last 15 seconds. If it survives you measure them to everyone else's one that survived to see whos the biggest and Tui and I won the competition for the biggest tower to survive.

Lava lamps

The second thing we did this term on science was lava lamps the ingredients was water, oil, dye, and a heat.

But you also need a cup for it but you put them in this ordered water goes in the cup first then add the heat pill and a bit of oil. And last a drop of dye and wait for it to do its thing and you should have a DIY lava lamp but what I learned was that lava lamps contains a standard of incandescent.

Marble tack

The third thing we did was a marble track and my two buddies were Brodie and Chase. We did rather a simple design we had a high ramp for the marble to race down and travel around the track to the end. We use glue, ice block sticks, sellotape, one toilet paper roll and a piece of cardboard. It turns out it worked and in the end, the science was marbles are pull down by earth force creating it to travel down not up.

Stick design catapults

the last thing we did was hand made stick catapults and

my buddie was Mason and we worked together to make a stick catapult. So Mason and I had to think of a really good catapult design but we ended up using a video for it. Because Mason and I couldn't use our skills to make it but we used ice block sticks, glue, a plastic milk bottle lit, and a pair of scissors to make it. We ended up with it breaking a lot but we made it work and its accuracy ended up being okay.

In the end the science was it's not about the design it's about  the power and accuuracy.
