Science centre (Robotics)

Yesterday, together with the homeschooled group, we went to the Science centre. We were followed a man, who took us to the lab.

Inside the lab, I saw a big rectangular table with many gadgets. I was very excited because it was my first time seeing such complicated things. First we sat down and the teacher taught us about robots. Then we were split into groups of two. I paired up with David. The first activity was to use a computer to programme our robot to shoot at a round lego piece. This was fun because we could control the robot. Next we used icons on the computer to make the robot take out the germs which was in the form of blue balls.

Finally we used a lego saw hooked on the robot to cut rubber tubes. The purpose is to unblock lungs. I had a great day at the Science centre.

Baking (chemistry)

After lunch I wanted to try out an experiment using milo, butter and sugar. First I melt the butter with milo in a pot, then add the sugar and stirred the mixture. Do you know that the end result looked like "poo poo" to me! Next I put in coloured sprinkles and freeze the mixture. After an hour I ate a bit of my creation , it tasted very buttery.
