exploring magnetism

Today Emma and I made a game to demonstrate how a magnet can work..I shared the game with the junior class and they all wanted to have a turn. it was easy because all you have to do is bend the pipe cleaners and tie a magnet to  some yarn and a wooden stick... this was a fun game to make.

Week One Reading Old Blue.

Old Blue by Mary Taylor 

Why I picked this book is because I like Nature stories  and the sound of the book Standard
out to me because the Title stood out. The Rarest Bird in the World in 1994 and now it is
one of the most popular birds in New zealand .

Laviona The failed Balloon Bottle Car

Lavonia The Failed Balloon Bottle
Car

               2020-2020 

                   Rest in peace 

This is the bottle car prototype. She was going to look better but we had  no time to         accessorize and this is why she looks like a piece of  recycling.

Things that went well: We got a bottle,
and managed to prepare something in the
limited timeframe we had. She participated in the two races.

Things that didn’t go well: Laviona’s
wheels didn’t move. She moved three inches
away from the ramp where we let her go.
Gravity pulled her down the ramp and air
resistance forced her to stop. The force of
the air resistance combined with the  non
working wheels and stopped her three
inches from the ramp. Her balloon
failed to push her even a millimeter.
The wheels were not aligned and were
working against each other.
