Constructing a Table - STEAM

 

Hi bloggers! The pictures above are the results of our activity today. The task was to build a sturdy table. We tested how sturdy our table was by seeing how many books it could withstand. We had 10 sheets of newspaper and a metre of cellotape to work with. as you can see in the pictures above, our table was able to withstand one book. I think our team could have worked a little bit better together if we were all focused. I also think that we could have come up with better ideas for the overall design, but it worked out fine. we actually didn't have enough cellotape, and I think if we had more resources we could have done better. Have you done something like this before? Do you think you will ever try something like this? Leave your questions/answers in the comments. Bye!

Art - Matariki Stars

Hi bloggers! Today I finished off my Matariki stars art. (put it in a frame and trimmed the edges.),

 so here is the final result! 

If you'd like to try this yourself, follow the instructions below.

1. grab a piece of paper.

2. draw out a mountain range and the Matariki stars. (backward!)

3. once you're happy with the design, copy it onto a piece of foam. 

4. using a roller, roll ink onto the foam.

5. grab a piece of card

6. flip your foam around and press the ink side onto the card.

7. take the used foam off and throw it out.

8. cut out a frame using another piece of card and stick it onto the inked card using a gluestick.

9. DONE!

I really liked this activity, I think they all turned out really pretty! 

Are you celebrating Matariki this year?

Have you ever done something like this, or aspire to do something like this? Please let me know how I did in the comments. Thank you, bye!

 

Experiment - Senses

 

hi bloggers! Today we did an experiment targeted at senses. we had a sheet of body parts that we had to poke with a pair of callipers, at different lengths. we recorded if we felt one or two points each time. have you ever done an experiment about senses? Is there anything I can improve on? please let me know by leaving a comment. Bye!
