Science Intensive week with Mrs Tofa & Miss Stone

On Monday room 7 students had science Intensive with our teachers Miss Stone and Mrs Tofa. We were put into 2 groups, group one and group two. Who ever was in group 2 had to go down to room 3 with Miss Stone and Mrs Tofa stayed with group one in class. Juring this week we have science intensive week were we do science in our class rooms.

In group one we had to do a car experience with Mrs Tofa. In the car experience we had to read a paper that had law 1,2 and law 3. The first law we read was law 1, it was about force and inertia. The second law was about acceleration and the last law was about when the force is pushing the other reacts.

The girls got to build the car first and the boys did the Sir Isaac Newton quiz. After that we swapped over the girls did the quiz and the boys finally got to make their car.

Here is the steps to make a car:

Step 1: Get a few straws like about 4 or 5

Step 2: Cut the end bits of the straws that you don't need to make it shorter.

Step 3: Then get something for the balloon to hold on, 

Step 4: After that tape the bottom of the balloon to the cardboard box so it can hold

Finally step 4: Blow the balloon big so that it can push your car far.

In the end of finishing our cars the girls and boys raced. The girls put their car in the middle and let go of the balloon so we can see how far it goes everyone and the teachers we yay, Then the boys put their cars in the middle and they failed we started laughing because it was so funny, they tried again and it did a front flip.... 

I had so much fun on monday with Mrs Tofa and I learnt so much about that yesterday.

Hi Dallas, this sounds like a really fun lesson! Why do you think one of the cars worked better than the other?
