Balloon rocket challenge

We are learning about Newton’s third law of motion

“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”

During the experiment we placed two chairs two meters apart and tied a length of sting with a straw thread through then we taped a balloon to the straw blew up the balloon and let go launching it to the other side.

What happens is the balloons air getting released creates a force that propels the balloon along the string.

 

Dragon eggs

  • I am going to make some dragon eggs!
  • First you need to get boiling hot water an egg then put the egg in the water and boil for about 8 minutes.
  • Get some food colouring and add it to some water in a mug and then put an egg in the cup and leave in the fridge overnight.
  • The next morning take the eggs out the cups carefully and remove their shells. If the experiment has worked you will have really colourful, cool looking dragons eggs like mine below.

Lockdown online art

Hello everyone.
On Monday afternoon me and my mum decided that we would do an online art project. We found a nice lady on YouTube that gave step by step instructions to create a piece of art called Blossom Tree.

We set up with paint brushes, acrylic paint, water and special art paper.  We started with a sketch then the moon and the night sky as you can see in the picture.

Next we did the water with the moons reflection on it, then moved into the land either side.After that we did the tree trunk and the roots with reflective highlights. Finally I did the blossom on the tree, the rocks and grass.

I used two amazing techniques, first to make the stars we used a brush and a flicking motion, secondly to do the pink blossom we used some cotton buds. Here’s the finished picture.
