Science in a Van visit
Morning session
|
Kauri session
|
Pulled tablecloth off table (pull force. No friction)
Swinging board with cups on (1 then 3) Push force.
|
Allan 5 volunteers for intro - 5 senses that we use to work out what things are e.g. the difference between wood and ice cream.
L&P can implode. Hot aluminium dunked into cold water. Had a little bit of water in it and gas. CO2
Dry ice exploding in the containers. Dry ice in water bottle - cloud of what CO2. Straight from solid to gas - CO2 doesn’t like liquid

Review

It was a really great show and I was amazed of the cool tricks and experiments

Today we had a visit from the awesome people from ‘Science in a Van’. The morning started with some fun science tricks where they put a tablecloth in the table and they were not using frictions they were using forces. Forces are pushing and pulling, Emma told us that there would be a 50 50 chance that the cups were gonna fall down or they were gonna stay. When she did it the cups stayed in the table, Emma called for volunteers but she needed a teacher, she called one of the teachers and let her do the trick, the countdown went to 3...2..1 and she pulled the tablecloth and she did it, the tablecloth didn’t fall down. The next trick was when Allen came up to the stage and showed us this brown board that was made from America and shipped to new zealand he said after 7 weeks it finally came to his mail now he was saying he was a bit thirsty so he went to the table beside him and he poured some water he drank it and put it on the brown board he swinged it and it didn’t fall down it was a really cool trick. The next part was for the people who paid 3 dollars When we went inside they showed us more of his cool tricks, Emma showed us the chart board that she called the cabinet and we learnt a lot of cool things.
I learnt that there are 3 states of matter
Solid
Liquid
Gas
I also learnt… Pulling and pushing forces
Another cool thing I learnt was… A L&P can was in a hot stove with a little bit of water they take the can and put it in cold water and it implode and when they took it out a lot of water came out .
I had a really great time watching ‘Science in a Van’. I learnt lots of new, interesting, information about states of matter and I would highly recommend it to anyone else who had the opportunity to watch it. It was a really fun Experience to watch Science In A Van
