Testing our balloon cars with much success.

Our grade eights had to “deconstruct” an electronic device/appliance while taking pictures of each step and writing down what they thought the parts did.  It was quite a mess but gave them a whole new appreciation of how complicated even the simplest device can be.

Students were shown how to make a rolling chassis and were left on their own to discover how to power it with a balloon and straw.

The grade fives and sixes took on the Marble Run Challenge.  They had an hour to build their Marble Run and when tested the winning time was 7 seconds.

Some volunteers dropped by from the University of Windsor’s Let’s Talk Science Program and helped our grade 2’s build playgrounds.

10 straws and 10cm of tape to build the tallest tower you can.

Students had to make a kicking machine that could kick a ping pong ball 30cm into a cup.

Students were given a cd, piece of packing material, straw, tape and a balloon to make a hovercraft.  It was tougher then they thought.
