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!
