Science day report by Jack 5RC
Our first task on science Day was to make a marble run out of card, cereal packets and cardboard tubes. Our one (Orpen House) was the best but not the slowest, and the competition was the marble run that took the longest time for the marble to pass through it. We took ages making the parts but ran out of time to make it better so we had to quickly stick it together which wasn’t ideal, we then voted which won should go through from our house team. Ours was really small so the marble quickly passed through Firmins was much bigger as they had joined the runs together and they won....oh well, who cares we still had a great day!!
On the 26/03/13 Heathlands had a science day . First we all went to our colour teams house. Our first challenge was to make a marble run when we were split into teams , we planned it first on a piece of sugar paper. Then we started the big build. It was really fun but it was a lot of team effort put into it. After we took our marble runs into the hall and we tested to see whose took the longest to get down the run. Firmins and Orpen won. After lunch we tried some experiments like magic balloons where we rubbed the balloons against our hair which made static electricity and our hair stood up on end. We then went in the hall for a second time to see an amazing show by the Colchester Royal Grammar School. Mr Adams said we could ask him if there was any questions about the experiments and that was the end of the scientific Tuesday.
