Stoke Schools - Exciting Science

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.

 THE CHROMATOGRAPHY TEST

this morning Sandon came down to Longton city learning centre to do a number of different things the main thing we did was a chromatography test to find which pen had edited Mr I M LOADED check that he sent to Sandon high school we did this by getting a piece of paper and putting a small dot of ink on it then placing it in water to see how the ink spread then we took pictures of the results

 THE PHOTOSTORY

then made a photo story about it adding recordings pictures and text to the picture with music playing in the background

 THE QUIZ

then we did a quiz with a handheld that have just been donated to sandon high school the day was enjoyable and the worse bit was walking here and back

In our first lesson we had to do an experiment to find out wich pen was used to write a cheque. While we werte doing this we were given a camers to take photographs of the evidence.  With the photographs we put them onto the computer using a u.s.b cable. When it was connected to the computer we then had to choose wich photos we wanted to use for the video. We then edited the videos by writting about what it shows, we also added effects to the photos to make it more creative. When we had finally done that, we had to add sound clips of our voice so that it was even more effective and detailed. Then when we went into our next lesson we had quiz pads we had to answer questions on the board and after we had answerd them Jenny would show us a graph on the board to see how many people had got the answer right or wrong xx

The Morning

We went  to longton city learning center and we got split into different groups. Firstly did some work on mass and weight and planets such as mars earth and saturn and we had oto write intresting facts about them. After break we did a experiment on finding out who’s pen changed the check. We had to take 5 differnt pens Mr Peak’s, MrsGreen’s, Mrs Heath’s, Mr Worthy’s and Mrs Evan’s and put a little circle of each pen on a different piece of paper and put it in a test tube that had a little bit of water in it then we placed the paper in it atfer a while the ink started to run up the paper and we had to work out which teacher had changed the amount of money sandon high school would be getting. We found out that it was Mr Worthy, I thorght that this was very enjoyable and would like to do something like this again.

Jenny had a quiz on the board and we used a quiz pad to answer the questions. We pressed down the answer into the pad and it connexcted up to the computer. This told us whether the answer was correct and how many people got it right and who got it wrong.

We went into the other room and tested to see which pen had been wrote onto a check to see who wqas trying to scrape money from the rich guy who donated money. Wer put water into 4 test tubes and added ink to a peice of paper. After that we put the inky paper into the water to soak up. Then wqe found out who tyhe suspect was . It was mr worthy.
