The fifth graders enjoyed the field trip to the Lawrence Hall of Science. The class had a chance to conduct experiments making various kinds of circuits. They learned the difference between an electrical generator and motor, and between static and current electricity. In addition the students learned additional safety procedures. The final experiment was quite hair-raising, as the students were charged with enough static electricity to lift their hair straight up.
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know we have finished our first two challenge questions for our NASA Quest project. We received an honorable mention for our answer to question number one.
1. What is the highest point of the Tahitian Islands (mountain & elevation)?
2. On a clear day, how far out at sea in a Polynesian canoe can you see the island of Bora Bora, Tahiti based on its highest elevation?
We won the challenge question number two.
What are the doldrums, and how can they affect an ocean voyage?
This week we will work on answering our third challenge question
How can the shape, height, and color of clouds help an ocean navigator to predict oncoming weather?
Students can also practice their celestial navigation techniques online at quietbay
