We rubbed balloons on our hair to transfer protons and create static electricity. We watched a video to learn that an object with extra electrons has a negative charge. We cannot wait for our school to attend next year!įirstly, 3rd Class investigated static electricity. Our favourite part of the day was attending live stage shows where we could win prizes. We also had the opportunity to attend various workshops, creating kites and attending a space bubble dome to look at constellations to name but a few. We presented our project to a judge and got fantastic feedback and a plaque to take back to school with us. Science Blast was an incredible experience. The possibilities were endless and we loved getting creative with our code and designs! Scan the QR code below to see a sample of our game in action!
In this game, we coded the paddles, the ball and then altered the code so that we could create a score variable and increase speed or the number of balls in the game. We analysed the blocks by category and then paired the blocks to make our objects move. One game that we enjoyed coding was Paddle Pong. Our favourite part of the project was learning to code with Scratch. This was a great way to battle it out between friends to improve speed and accuracy. One exercise we loved was designing our very own finger football pitch! We designed the pitch using whiteboard markers and taped over the lines to ensure they didn’t smudge. We are going to start learning the tin whistle too and evaluate if our new skills will be put to use. We found that our handwriting improved and we could also knit better with practice. We found that improving our dexterity helped in school in a lot of ways. We also made our own “finger” obstacle course and measured if the time taken to complete the course would improve by using a series of tests and exercises. Our teacher was the fastest at typing with 61 words in one minute. We wanted to improve how well we could follow the prompts with practice.
We came up with ways to measure dexterity.
We did a series of manual and digital tests and exercises to try to improve our dexterity. Our project aimed to investigate dexterity and if we could measure it and improve it over time. 4A were thrilled to be invited to Science Blast 2023.
