Experiments, Yo-Yo's and Science!



We have been running a few science experiments lately. In this one, we tried to build card houses on different surfaces. We identified our manipulated variable as the surfaces, our responding variables were the cards and our controlled variables were the person testing the cards, time, and the number of cards. Now it's time to run our own experiments for the science fair!





We also recently had a yo-yo contest in our classroom. Our three judges (hmmm...perhaps influenced by "American Idol") ran and scored the contest!
Thank you contestants and judges!








On Monday, we went to the Pacific Science Center. We had a great time at the planetarium, IMAX and Mars exhibit. We got chills when we heard that the scientists who could figure out how to get people to Mars could be
in elementary school right now!
