the first thing we did when we went into the seminar room was learn about the universe answering variuos questions about it. A man called Mr Hacket and he guided us through the process of learning about these planets and he showed us a new peice of technoligy called the magic globe. The magic globe was really interesting and i think interested everyone in the room. We also did about forces about like friction and gravity we also learned that mass isnt a force. After the lesson on the universe and forces we went into the training room to do a practical experiment this experiment also had a story behind it.  This story was interesting it was sort of like a crime investigation. It was that mr loaded had posted a 6,000 pound check and one of sandons science teachers had put the amount up to 60,000. so we had to investigate the different pen types of all the science teachers in sandon. This involved Mr Peak, Mrs Green, Mr Worthy, Mrs Heath and Miss Ellis. We had a piece of paper and we put a dot on the paper with each of the teachers pens. We had test tubes with a drop of water in each of them and we had to put the dot just up to the water. It the spread the ink and it spread to a different colour. The colour that matched the colour pen on the check was the culprit. It was Mr Worthy. we took pictures of this project at different stages.

After break we went back into the seminar room we continued to learn, but this time we learnt about photo story. photo story was something we did like a slideshow but more advanced. to do this we used the different staged pictures. we selected  some of the best pictures and put them into our slide show. next we added  text explaining the project and the different stages. then we added voice clip to also explain the photos in more detail.We added relaxing music to the project it was brill.

We exchanged rooms and went into the training room where we explored the new vote pads. Thse pads were all programmed to the computers so that we could be moniterd on what answers we got right or what answers we got wrong. Tis was good because it meant not writing out answers.
