This week we made and tested motor boats in science. We tried to make the boats go faster and carry more weights. Orange group carried 36 rubber erasers in their little boat! That was the record for the class.
We also did electrical circuits:
The coolest parallel circuit was very bright. If one bulb got unscrewed the other stayed lit.
Another thing we did in science was spinner art using a little motor and 3x5 cards. We observed what blocks of colors looked like when they were spun together. Red, yellow and blue made a light pink like a kind of medicine. Red and blue made a magenta. Pink, green, and orange made orange with a purple outline. Light blue on the edges looked clear almost when it spun.
We also did electrical circuits:
- complete/simple
- closed and open
- series
- parallel
