Last week on Thursday, the 9th of June, the yr 7's and 8's walked down to Tamaki College. We were all in groups of 6 and I was one of the leaders. In my group was Tule, Beni, Miracle and Lesely. We went to Tamaki College to get a better understanding of our topic by watching the science Roadshow.
When we got there we saw a lot of cool exhibits but before we could even go there, the people at the front had to introduce themselves and they were from Fonterra. When they finished telling us the rules the let us go and explore the exhibits.
We all went to different exhibits but they all had a theme. Those themes were Detection, Heat, Communication, Levers, gears and Inclined Planes, Sound and Quirky Curiosities. In each theme there were a lot of exhibits like in Detection was Radistion, in Heat was colour and fire, in Communication was phones, in levers, gear and Inclined planes was piano and metal detector, in sound was birds singing on the computer,and magic hands and finally on Quirky Curiosities was a skeleton on a chair.
The theme and the exhibits that got me hooked was sound and the exhibit name was the Theremin. There are 2 plates and you hold one hand above each plate and carefully move the other hand on the other plat and move it around. 1 plate for volume and the other plate for pitch. It was fun to play with.
When I finished exploring this exhibits I had questions to fill in so we can tell Ms T what we have learnt. The questions were What was the exhibits name?, What did it look like? What was included in this exhibits?, What did the exhibit the exhibit do? What did you find out from this exhibit? and the last question was What science idea did it demonstrate? That was the hardest question of all because I was just busy wondering around.
Then it was time to go back to school. I had fun there and I now the other kids did too.
