Science Week November 2020 by Alex Archbold
This report is about science week 2020 which happened at school with our class. For one or two experiments you may need parental supervision.
Monday:
Mirror writing: mirror writing is a fun activity that all you need is a mirror, pen/pencil, and paper. There is a lot of different ways to do mirror writing. We tilted the mirror to use it to write words onto paper using the reflection of the mirror. It was a bit tricky!
Tuesday:
Colour spinners: the colour spinner is a difficult experiment to make. what you need is a circular piece of cardboard, colouring pencils, paper, and a line of string. The effect that it gives is all the colours change to white Tip; make sure you get a long piece of string.
Wednesday:
Sound: unfortunately, all I got to do was the tuning forks. The other students made a rice drum, you need to get a bowl covered in cling film and then put rice on the cling film. You then make noise to see if rice will move.
The String Telephone: the string telephone is made up of two cans and a piece of string. First pierce a hole through the bottom of each can. Then place the string though the hole in the cans, tie a knot on each end of the string. Now all you need to do is to talk into it. It works better when the string is straight and tight!
Thursday:
Bottle Rockets: this was my favourite experiment that we did. what you will need is an empty bottle, a cork, paper cup, ALKA-SELSER and water. First put water into your bottle then put the Alka seltzer into the bottle now put in the cork, shake it, place into the cup, and wait a few seconds till blast off.
Friday:
Optical Illusions: they are fun but be careful not to hurt your eyes! We looked at some pictures to see what we could see for example we looked at this one picture were some students seen a young lady, but others seen an old lady. After we made our own illusions.
The End
Hope you enjoyed!
