Experiment:  Leak Proof Bag

Objective:  How the polymer (bag) forms a bond around the pencils so it will not leak.

Materials:  water, pencils, ziplock bag, bucket

Haydn, our scientist, was ready to perform our last Super Star Scientist Experiment of the school year! She was ready to go with her materials and lab coat! 

First Hadyn poured water into a baggie.

Then her assistant, Dad, zipped the baggie closed.

Next, Haydn stuck a pencil right through the baggie...

...then another... 

...and another...

...and another...

...until there were 6 pencils poking through!

Look at that!  It IS leak proof!

Brave Hadyn let her dad place it over her head!

Not a drop of water leaked out!

How fun!

Conclusion: The bag forms a seal and will not leak.

Our Annual Egg Drop

was so much fun!

Mr. DeMeyere stood on the roof and dropped our packaged eggs one at a time!

See our results below!

Experiment: The Lemon Battery

Objective:  To show that chemical reactions make electricity

Materials:  lemons, copper, nails, alligator clips, light bulb 

Wow!  Look at our scientist with all of her experiment materials out and ready.  This looks serious!

Our scientist and her assistant, Dad.

First, our scientist rolled the lemons...

"like I'm kneading dough".

After that, Annabel put a piece of copper wiring in the lemon.

(She politely reminded a classmate to "shhhh"!)

Next, she added a nail to the lemon.

 She repeated that for the 2nd lemon and...

...and the 3rd lemon.

Next, she grabbed the alligator clips.

She connected the alligator clips from the copper in one lemon to a nail in another lemon.  

She did this until all of them were connected to each other.  

And then she connected it to an LED light bulb...

    

...and we had light!!!  

The lemon battery produced enough electricity to turn on the white light!

Then she did a blue light!

   

Then she did a red light! 

Here is a close up picture of Annabel's circuit!

Great job, Scientist Annabel!

What a cool experiment!

Conclusion:  The chemical reaction turns on the light bulb.

Our Easter Party was a hopping good time!

Thank you to Mrs. Champagne for 

planning such a fun afternoon!

Ready, set, hunt!!

The bunny hop race!!

The Easter Egg-on-a-Spoon relay!!

He has risen!

He has risen indeed!

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter!
