Summer School Week 3

This was the last week of the 2012 Summer School program.  It was a great finish to our program this year.  The Students were able to focus on picture and sound this week.  First we made cameras that actually took photographs! Then we played with sound waves by making microphones and telephones.  Also just for fun from week two on the topic of fizz we made melon soda.  It was really tasty.  The students learned a lot about science while hearing and responding to English!! I look forward to next year!

Summer School Week 2

Week 2 of summer school was the same topic as week one but with younger students.  Even doing the same things produced many different results and we still had a great time!! We made volcanoes, did coke fountains, and coke bottle rockets. The goal of these experiments was to see what makes things fizz. Fizz is CO2 so we were able to make coke fountains and model volcanoes. These students really got into decorating their Volcanoes and made very interesting ones! For the pet bottle rockets you can see how strong air pressure was.  They flew much higher than the school!!

Summer School Week 1

This first week we had a great time!! We made volcanoes, did coke fountains, and coke bottle rockets.  The goal of these experiments was to see what makes things fizz.  Fizz is CO2 so we were able to make coke fountains and model volcanoes.  For the pet bottle rockets you can see how strong air pressure was.  The picture shows mist still in the bottle after it landed.  They flew much higher than the school!! My students were really impressed at what they could learn from Science in English!
