Challenge a Day<br />
Throughout the week, we<br />
abandoned our morning<br />
experiments and created<br />
a set of interactive activities<br />
entitled ‘Challenge a Day’.<br />
This included challenges such<br />
as making a tower from dry<br />
spaghetti, marshmallows that<br />
can support an egg, making<br />
floating gardens and the<br />
students conducted various new<br />
experiments that had a wow<br />
factor. Thursday was National<br />
Demo day. The science staff<br />
demonstrated how to not pop a<br />
balloon, canon fire and the Van<br />
de Graf generator.<br />
Riddles were also given to the<br />
students to solve including:<br />
1. ‘You have to measure exactly<br />
4 litres of water, but you only<br />
have a 3-litre bottle and a 5-litre<br />
bottle. How do you do it?<br />
2. ‘When I’m young I’m tall<br />
When I’m old I’m short<br />
When I’m alive I glow<br />
Because of your breath I die<br />
What am I?’<br />
Well done to Amy Agboola<br />
(10T), who was award a prize<br />
for demonstrating enthusiasm<br />
in science, as well as really<br />
helping and teaching the<br />
younger year groups.<br />
“I took part in science<br />
week with year 7 students<br />
helping them to understand<br />
the experiments we were<br />
carrying out. One of the<br />
challenges that we did was<br />
using balloons, hot water,<br />
cold water and a bottle.<br />
We used them to test if<br />
heat expanded the balloon.<br />
This challenge helped us to<br />
understand how convection<br />
worked”.<br />
