All About Saving Energy - W6

Tech: How To Save & Use Energy. 

For this experiement we used salt water, two cups, four wires, siccors, low energy light bulb, screwdriver and a light switch. We paired with St. Pius as this required safety and help.

Firstly we cut half of the wire making sure some alluniman was left. Now we screwed our two wires into a light bulb contraption. Then we did the same to the light switch, again we made sure it was stiff so our wires wouldn't come out. We connected all our wires to the salt water and the results were...A BIG FAIL!

Mostly everyone in my group believed it was because of the salt since it's been there for about 3-4 years. I found this experiement enjoyable because it showed how much teamwork was needed. It was great seeing my group work together!

Technology: LIGHT BULBS - W4

On Wednesdays the year 8's and 7's go to Tamaki College for technology. My group is doing science with Ms. Sharma. The last few weeks have been amazing because I learnt so many things about plastic, science and our upcoming topic, energy.

Last week we researched a lot about light bulbs and the power they hold wether it's good or bad. Next we took wires and connected them both to a light contraption. Kate and I were shocked. I hope this week will be more fascinating and interesting!
