Mission To Mars Lab Term 2 #5

Today Gillian, Anja, and I worked on a lab called measuring sound. I this lab we used a logger pro and a magnetic field sensor to test how much energy was in a screw. To do this we took a battery and connected a 80cm piece of wire to it then wrapped the screw in the middle and the more times we wrapped it in the wire the higher the reading would be.

Mission To Mars Lab Term 2 #4

Today Kimmy, Unity, and I worked on a lab called Heat Shields, Where we worked on constructing a shield that would protect a makeshift space craft. We had to apply conduction, convection, and Radiation and build the shield with tin foil, screen door,and some screws.

Mission To Mars Lab Term 2 #3

Today Anja, Unity, and I worked on a lab called impact craters where we used a bouncy ball and a bucket of flour to demonstrate how craters are made and the impact they will have depending on the on the place it fell from. Each time we would drop the ball from a different height it would have a different impact.

Mission To Mars Lab Term 2 #2

Today Hannah, Cece, and I worked on a lab called Motors. We learned how to create a motor with a Battery, a straw, and some wire. We attached the wire (which was wrapped around the staw) to a battery with tape. then after a couple secconds the wire heated up and wen we stuck a needle inside it, the energy pushed it back out.

Mission To Mars Lab Term 2 #1

Today for labs Clara, Emma, and I worked on a project called Body Power. We pretty much caculated how fast we burn calories in a day by taking pulses and doing jumoing jaxz. (don't ask) Any ways we had to cauclate our BEE (Basal Energy Expenditure) RHR (Resting Heart Rate) WHR (Working heart Rate) and a bunch of other stuff. So it was fun it will help us learn how well we will survive on Mars!!!

Talkin Bought Planets

Today we worked on learning about the planets and we made mock solar systems to show the distances they are from the sun. We used different items we found around the classroom to create the plants, asteroid belt, etc.
