Mud pies!

September 16, 2013September 16, 20133 Comments

Today we have been trying to get clean water back from a mix of dirt and water.

The children were sent to create their own solution using mud a water, and were then set the task of getting back pure, clean water from their mud pies. The children used a variety of methods including using a sieve, funnels and filter paper. Some methods worked better than others, but all the children showed great effort throughout the activity.

– Do you know what the term ‘dissolve’ means?
– Do you understand what you would use a funnel and a piece of filter paper for?
– What do you think is the most successful way of getting clean water back?

Can base 2 make the bulbs light with food?

Base 2 wanted to know if food could generate enough power to light a bulb.

Which foods will light a bulb?

Cosford …fun n flights

We are having lots of fun finding out about flight. There are lots of hands on experiments to show the science behind flight. We will tell you what we find out ……

We found out how to make a fibre optic laser travel…..

Alex goes flying.

we went to Cosford. My best bit of the day was the flight simulator you had to fly the plane with a control stick and pedals.

Cosford craziness

My partner was Jess and a worker said we could have are picture taken by the spitfire. She said it is the oldest one. They were lodes of people in the air force who got a victoria cross!!! There is a world war2 bomber is called a Lincoln. Some plans can go on water. We also got the chance to try costumes on! By Alex

How can the plastic balls hover?

Harry, at the fun and flight section of RAF Cosford, had 2 plastic balls hovering the air.

How did this happen?

Circuit fun!

At home I found out how to make an electric powered motor.I used a battery, wire, a magnet and a screw.

Circuits

We had to make a parallel circuit what made one light on and then both lights on. It was quite tricky but in the end we did it. We had to use batteries, two bulbs, quite a few wires and a battery holder.
We were the first ones to complete the circuit. We have enjoyed today even though it was so hard!
We have learnt that a series circuit is where the electricity goes the same way but a parallel circuit is where the electricity goes all different ways. When the switch is open two lightbulbs turn on but when the switch is closed only one lightbulb turns on.

How to make a series circuit.

In order to make a series circuit you need 2 lightbulbs 1or 2 batteries and 4 wires.

You attach a wire to the lamp then you get anther wire then your switch should be closed if its open only one of your bulbs will work.

Help my circuit won’t work!

Help we have tried everything and my circuit just wont work! First we tried changing the battery’s and that didn’t work then tried replacing the bulb that didn’t work then finally we tried changing the wires but that didn’t work either! What else should we do to try and make it work?
