Science Showcase

Science Showcase


Yesterday we had a science showcase.Rms.1,2,3,4,5 and 6 did 1 to 3 science experiments and projects.
I liked yesterdays science showcase because it had really interesting experiments and projects and we could try using each of them.
I found the simple circuits and the lava lamp interesting because (Simple circuits) the wires were broken and when I joined them together the light would light up and (Lava Lamp) when a tablet would be dropped into the lava lamp the lava would all come up to the top.
I learn something new from the simple circuits because that was the first time I joined two wires together and a light would light up and when I saw a lava lamp that was made by students, and I have seen a ready made  lava lamp, but this was the first time that I saw a lava lamp made by students, and their lava lamps lava come up to the top.
I would like to have one of this next time because I would like to see more projects and experiments.
