Magic Cup

This is Zaina's Vacuum cup experiment. The method was .... 

1. put a layor of water on the plate. 2. light the match and allow it to burn using a lemon slice to hold it straight. 3. Place the cup upside down over the match.

The air around the flame is pushed in all directions. Warmer air needs more space than cooler air! So, the air pushes under the small gap round the rim of the cup and lets the water in, pushing the water upwards!

Tread Lightly

At Tread Lightly we were using our bodies to make electricity. This then powered the hair dryer and the electric sander. It was really hard to power the hair dryer because it uses 1500 watts!

We also learned about all the different light bulbs and had a go at powering each one by turning a wheel. There are CFLs Incandescent and the most efficient of all the LED. LED bulbs use up to 80 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and produce the same amount of light. Most LEDs should last at least 15,000 hours – that’s more than 13 years if used every day for three whole hours.

We had an amazing time learning about the environment and our environmental footprint!

Good Luck to our Choir Students
