Day: March 24, 2016

Today Glasgow Science Centre on tour came to our school and they have been travelling  all around schools in Scotland. We did a programme called  get active with Craig and Gemma.

We started off with a challenge about how oxygen travels around the body so we had light up bouncy balls that we took from the body board you had to take it to the lungs and light it up we all saw how hard it was for our bodies to let oxygen travel through.

Next we put fairy liquid, Hydrogen peroxide and potassium  iodide in a bottle and it was to show our muscles when we workout when they start to burn that was the acid

Kaylan and Dylan volunteered to be in one of the experiments a by putting a device with a pair of ears on it Attached to his ears and head to showing his brains thinking. The ears stayed straight when he was focused but moved when he had brain waves they moved. Kaylan put a Velcro hat on and Dylan through balls at her to demonstrate his thinking.

finally we finished with electric shocking Miss Dale to see the difference in her handwriting!!!

Today Glasgow Science Centre came to our school!!! They came to do a programme called get active. First we started by learning about the heart and lungs, we did an experiment by getting Keira to try and get 5 balls lit up at the same time it was really hard because they only lit up for 20 seconds . Then we did a second experiment for our muscles which involved all the experiment to explode it slithered like a snake down the side of the bottle. Then we did another experiment to test the focus of our brains. Me and Dylan had to go up as volunteers, Dylan was playing basketball and I was the net he had to throw soft balls at me and try and hit my head with them I had to try and get them on my head then the hat I  had to wear got stuck in my hair ” this made me very embarrassed” # Kaylan .    # Miss Dale carnage:  Miss dale got an electric shock in one of the experiments.

At Holywood we have been doing really good things! Glasgow Science Centre on tour arrived this morning.

They told us about how our body works when we do gym.

When we run our leg muscles can feel like they are burning this is because you are using up oxygen. You can get cramp if you don’t have enough water.

But it is ok – your muscles recover!

This afternoon we are going to try out the Fitness Lab – to test our fitness by doing lots of activities!

This is a good way to spend the last day of term!
