Science In A Box - Lilly Fox

Every Thursday we do Science in a Box. A scientist comes in to us, called Shauna. She teaches us about experiments and teaches us about space and lots of other things. She taught us about matter. Matter is gas, solid, liquid etc. Example a wall or your desk. She also did the periodic table with us. We had to memorise where everything was and then we did it ourselves. We did an experiment where we stuck a ruler to the table and  put magnets underneath the desk with tape, then we tried to see how many paperclips we could put on it without falling. We could only put about two or three because the magnet was not strong enough to hold more than four. The next week we learnt about the black holes in space. She showed us a video about them. If you get too close to it you get sucked in and that is called Spaghettification. If you go through the black hole you will never come out. This week we all got a Styrofoam ball and we got a sheet of facts. Myself and Dayah were partners. We got the planet Saturn. We coloured our Styrofoam ball Yellow, Orange, Red and Brown and then we cut out a sheet of paper to make the rings of Saturn, we put it around our planet. Then we got a prize for the best planet. We both got Marshmallows. Science in a Box is so much fun.
