Stoke Schools - Exciting Science

This morning at the CLC we did many things in such a short space of time. Firstly we did a chromatography experiment; this was based on a cheque. We had to find out which suspect had forged the cheque. We had to take five pieces of paper and put a dot at the end of each piece of paper with five different pens. We had to put each piece of paper into a test tube filled with water, but we didn’t put the whole piece in we just had to make sure the end was touching the water. The paper soaked up the water and the ink of the pen trawled up the paper as if by magic. In the end everyone found out who committed the crime. It was Mr Worthy!                                                                                                  Next we did about magic planets, this included mass, weight and friction. We watched a video about mars and other things. Then on the computer we had to write down 3 points about mass, weight and friction, everyone wrote something down. We were asked questions about what we saw on the PowerPoint and only a few people dared to answer =) loll. This session went quick because it was fun and I learned allot out of it. I now have my own work about mass, weight and friction. The teacher made everyone laugh because he kept saying every time you hear the mc Donald’s theme think mass!! It was really funny.            After break we played a quiz on these like machine things. We had 20 questions to answer and they were all based on science. Every question had an answer which were ladled either A, B, C or D. Everyone had to answer or there mark would be lost. We had to press an answer then press enter you could see how many people had answered at the top of the page. Then the teacher showed us how many people answered with thaw wrong answer and how many people got it right (most of us got it right anyway).          The next session we had to make a movie using photo story. On the computers we used a program called photo story. We added all the pictures we took in the day. We had to put them on the movie and we could add all different effects to the pictures. After we had to add text on to the picture about what we were doing in the photos. Once we had done that we had to record us speaking about what was going on in the photo. Once we had finished that we had to make some music to add to the movie and then it was finished. We could watch the photos and we saved them so they will always be there. It was really fun!        The next thing we did was writing this blog. I had to write about what we had done today. It’s been GREAT and FUN!!!!!!!!!! It took me along time to write it because I could not think of what to write in the whole blog. Oops.  I enjoyed today and will definitely come again and again and again. =) LOL                  From x!x Hollie x!x
