Science and technology has come to an end. the class has been awesome, I had so much fun doing assignments and labs. This was by far the best lab we have done. We built and launched rockets hundreds of feet in the air. Our rocket was one of the highest flying rockets. The top of the rocket popped off at the highest elevation which its suppose to but the streamer never popped up. Overall are rocket was awesome!
Today we made molecule large scale replicas out of wooden spheres and Sticks. We made the following Combinations of molecules:
-H2o
-CH3OH
-CCL4
-NH3
-C2H4
-C6H12O6
Today we built towers out of Spaghetti and marshmallows. Dinuk,Taylor and I had an idea to base are tower on the CN tower A larger base and a very pointy top. We also decided that the smaller the spaghetti was the more stability the structure had because the materials wouldn't be as flimsy. However halfway through building we noticed that the sticks weren't long enough so we made them longer but making the tower bend. When the tower bends our support beams went everywhere which didn't give good support. Are overall hieght was 90cm which made us 2nd (1st being Neuf). Our building Idea went from this to this.
Today we did another microscope Lab. Instead of looking at slides created by the school we made our own slides. We made our own slides by taking pond water and putting it on slides. Me and Dinuk managed to find 3 little bugs. It was hard to keep them still but we managed to get some cool pictures.
Today we had a microscope Lab containing many different bacterias. It has been a couple years since I used a microscope and I forgot how cool it was. The deferent colors from the different bacteria showed some cool characteristics. Here are some pictures of amoeba, Volvo, algae, paremecium, diatoms.
