Here are some photos of the Science Club in action! |
The first meeting gets rolling...quite a commotion with 80 kids! |
Miss Kewley helps first-time Science Clubbers get settled. |
Alex, Emily, Hussein, and a friend work together to build a simple electrical circuit that will light a small bulb. Good teamwork, kids! |
Hayley, Sara, and Sarah practice closing their circuit to light the bulb - what "bright" girls! |
Let there be light! |
Here is a sample of the Morse Code we used to send our messages. |
A simple circuit in action... |
At our fourth meeting, Mr. Stuck explains how a Van de Graaff generator works - as Miss Kewley prepares to get her hair raised! |
Definitely a bad hair day for Miss Kewley! |
Megan experiences the power of static electricity! |
At our fifth meeting, with 2nd graders only, we determined which brand of dish soap could make a better container for gases (or in other words, make a bigger bubble!) Miss LaChance shows some 2nd graders how it is done! |
Hayley, Yevan, and Alex's group wow Miss Kewley with their bubble-blowing ability! |
Hunter and a friend have some awesome bubble-blowing power! |
Which brand of dish soap will be the winner girls - Dawn or Joy??? |
What a bubble! Looks like the yellow "Joy" brand was the winner, but it was definitely a close call! |
Mr. Stuck captivates the 3rd grade members with the "Balloon Blow-up" experiment! |
Third graders blow a giant "table bubble!" |
It looks like Joy brand was the clear winner this time! |
For our seventh meeting with ALL members, we learned the theory behind water-bottle rockets: The Law of Action and Reaction! |
Mr. Stuck prepares to launch the first rocket... |
Except for Mr. Stuck getting a little wet, the launch was a complete success! |
Some finished bottle rockets - experimental designs to be tested at the next meeting! |
