How to make a anti gravity glass.

Today's activity?

Today's activity was to build an anti gravity glass and to do a sisomo (sight sound motion)


Anti gravity glass is?

So today I have created two forces which when they come together the create enough force that they can over come gravity.

Here is my video on how to build an anti gravity glass. 

 

What happened when I tested my anti gravity glass?

Well I didn't get soaked and I didn't wet the floor so I thought that it was a very successful experiment. And the water didn't fall out so it turned out to be very anti gravity.

Reflection of the activity. What did you enjoy learn?

I learnt a lot about how gravity work and a lot of things about gravity.

How to make a sundial

Today the experiment I did?
The experiment I did was to make a sundial and do a sisomo (sight, sound, motion)

What is a sundial is? 
A sundial is a instrument that shows the time when the sun is shining. In the olden day when digital and analog clocks didn't exist they needed something to tell them the time.

Here is my video on how to make a sundial:

 


What happened when I tested my sundial?

Well it almost showed accurate time but it showed the correct hour.

Reflection of the activity. What did you enjoy/learn?

I really enjoyed doing the activity and I learnt a lot about how a sundial works. Now I know exactly how a sundial works

How to build a super column

What was today's experiment?
Today's Experiment was to build a super column and to do a sisomo (sight sound motion) on how to build it.

What is a super column?
Today I built three super columns and one of them was a flat sheet of paper the other one was circular and  the third was a triangle. I was trying to find out which of them had the most compressive strength.

  
Here are my videos on how to build a super column:


What happened when I tested my super columns power?

Well when I tested my two flat sheets of paper it collapsed without even holding it up for a second.

When I tested my two circular ones they held the rock for very short time and then collapsed, but it still worked better than the first sheets of paper.

Then I tested my triangular pillars they held up the rock for very long and still it didn't collapse.


Reflection of the activity. What did you enjoy/learn?

I learnt that triangular pillars were the strongest.

How to make a Xylophone

 Today the activity I did was:

To build a xylophone and do a Sisomo ( sight, sound, motion) how to make it.


A Xylophone is:

A xylophone is a musical instrument. Most xylophones are made from various metals and woods. In xylophones there are strips of varying lengths arranged in a row from the smallest strip to the biggest strip. Because of them being different lengths, they produce different kind of musical sounds.   


Here is my video on how to make a Xylophone:

 
What happened when I tested my xylophone:

Well it was very successful and I could hear the different sounds.

Reflection of the activity. What I enjoyed/learnt:

So far I have learnt quite a lot about how a xylophone works.

I enjoyed doing this activity very much.
