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!

Super Star Scientist...

Annabel!

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!

Cayden!

Experiment: Walking Rainbow

Objective: How the primary colors combine to make the colors of the rainbow.

Materials: 6 glasses, red, blue, & yellow food coloring, water, paper towels

Our Super Star Scientist, Cayden, was set to go with his materials ready and his safety goggles on!

Cayden began by adding red food coloring to one of the glasses...

  

...then green to a second glass...

...and yellow to a third glass.

  

Next, he placed the 6 glasses in a circle with an empty glass between the glasses with food coloring.

  

Once the glasses were in a circle, Cayden added water only to the glasses with food coloring. First the yellow...

  

...then the blue...

...and then the red.

Cayden stirred them one at a time...

   

...then 2 at a time...

   

...then he "multi-tasked" and stirred 3 at a time!! :)

After the food coloring was mixed well in the water, Cayden placed a paper towel from each glass into the one beside it.

  We watched the experiment over the next 24 hours.  The water "walked" up and then down the paper towels moving the water and the color between the glasses eventually evening out the water level in all 6 glasses and mixing the primary colors to make the secondary colors!

Take a look at the results!

What a super fun experiment!  We watched the colors mix and the water move right before our eyes!

Conclusion:

The red & yellow make orange.

The yellow & blue make green.

The blue & red make purple.
