SUPER SCIENCE DAYS 4 & 5

Finally, I found time to complete my science camp post!  

SUPER SCIENCE DAY 4

Marvelous Magnets & Exciting Electricity

We began the day with a few group experiments. 

Experiment 1:  Making a Magnet

I read this story and we tried the experiment in the book.

The book says to rub a nail across the magnet 50 times.  We tried and it didn't work so we tried it again.  This time we rubbed the magnet 100 times.

The nail became magnetized after being rubbed across the magnet 100 times.  The nail picked up 3 pins!  That's not much.

Experiment 2:  Making an Electromagnet

We made a magnet using electricity!

Look how much this electromagnet picks up!

Experiment 3:  Lights Up!

We discovered a battery has a negative and positive side. 

 Look what happens when the circuit is completed.

Experiment 4:  Roll, Roll, Roll Your Can

Can you move a can with a balloon?

Did you know that static electricity from the balloon will move the can?

Super Science Day 5

Experiment:  Up, Up, and Away

We discovered hot water rises!

FUN STUFF!!!

Completing a circuit!

Completing a circuit to make a fan!

My new toy for the class - it's a ZOOMIE MICROSCOPE!!!

Getting a closer look!

We had fun at Super Science Camp!

We discovered

SCIENCE IS A BLAST!!!

Yikes!  It fell off the bench!

SUPER SCIENCE DAY 3

CRAZY COLORS

Experiment 1:  Mixing Colors

Before we begin this experiment, I read...

After the story I give each student a little blue, a little yellow, and a little red play-dough ball.

The students use the primary colors to make secondary colors and record their discoveries.

Experiment 2:  CRASHING COLORS

What happens when primary colors "bump" into each other?

BEFORE

AFTER

Experiment 3:  Eating Colors

The students mixed primary colored icing to make secondary colors.  Yummy!

 

Experiment 4:  Paint a Picture!

The students mixed paint to create new colors for their masterpiece.

SUPER SCIENCE DAYS 1 & 2

This week I'm hosting a Super Science Camp!

Take a look at what we are discovering!

Day 1

WONDERFUL WATER

Experiment 1:  Lava Lamp

We discovered that water is heavier than oil.  Did you know oil and water don't mix?  The students put pieces of seltzer tablets in the tube.  Look what happened!

Experiment 2:  CHASE THE PEPPER

We discovered that water has surface tension.  

The students broke the water's surface with a drop of soap!

Amazing!!!

Experiment 3:  MUSICAL WATER

The students discovered that water can produce sounds.

We listened for high and low sounds!

Experiment 4:  TRAVELING WATER

We discovered that water sticks together. 

 It has adhesive and cohesive qualities.

You can't tell in this picture, but the water is traveling on a string.

Day 2

MARVELOUS MATTER

Matter has 3 forms - liquid, solid, and gas

Experiment 1:  MAGIC BALLOON

We discovered that vinegar (liquid) and baking soda (solid) makes a gas, carbon dioxide.

Experiment 2:  DANCING RAISINS

Did you know gas can lift objects?

WOW!

Writing about it.

Experiment 3:  MONSTER MUD

It's a solid!  It's a liquid!  It's monster mud!!!

It feels hard when you poke it.

It drips like a liquid.

You can grab it like a solid.

Experiment 4:  BLOBBER

Did you know 2 liquids can make a solid?!  It's stretchy and bouncy!  

You can break it and even blow a bubble!!!
