Egg drop experiment.

In this experiment you set up an egg on top of a toilet paper roll on top of a plate on top of a half filled cup and the goal is to try to get the the eggs (or feijoas in this case) into the cups of water without touching anything but the plate. It is really cool how you do it. You are supposed to whack the plate really quickly so the toilet rolls and the plate go flying but the feijoas just fall right in the water. After we tested it with one feijoa and one cup we tried two and it worked but then we tried three and it didn't work.

The forces.

Hexagon relationships between the forces. This picture shows how the three laws of motion are linked together.

Fire experiment

This morning at school my class and I went outside and did a science experiment. Where we put a piece of wire through a double ended candle and rested it on two cups. Once we had done that we set the candle on fire (both ends) and watched. Unfortunately nothing really happened apart from tilting slightly to one side. When we went back inside we watched a video on what was supposed to happen. What was supposed to happen was that it would twirl around and go up and down like a swing. After that we also went out and set fire to a pingpong ball which burnt furiously.
