Science Fun (10/26)

At Lincoln, we are working on Science Fair projects. And the experiments have been pretty exciting! Some students cut fruit apart and watch how it changed over time. (You should see what a banana looks like after sitting in a classroom for a few days. Rico!!!) Other students are trying to make rockets. One group tried pumping air into a bottle of water. They stuck a pump needle through a hole they made in the lid. They they pumped as much as 70 lbs. of pressure into the bottle. They didn't get the bottle to fly, but water sure did. After some of the water had come out of the bottle, it was lighter and there was more room for air pressure. They discovered that by laying the bottle on its side, they could make it slide across the floor. Other groups are working on simulating tsunami and volcano eruptions. Energy is definitely high these days!!!
