We Celebrated Our Learning With A Feast.

On the last day of term we celebrated our learning with a feast. We dressed as people from Ancient times and ate bread, olives, grapes, figs, dried apricots, apples and dates. We had blackcurrant juice to drink but in ancient times they had wine.

We Had an Engineer Talk to Us

Scott showed us some experiments. This one was putting mentos in a bottle of coke. He punctured a hole in the top of the cap and shook the bottle. It fizzed out like a fountain. He also gave Noah some coke and a mentos. We couldn't wait to see if he let off gases but no such luck.

He also showed us an egg experiment where we put a hard boiled on top of a glass flask and tried to put it in. It didn't fit but when Scott lit a match and put it in the flask the boiled egg was sucked in. This showed the force of air pressure because the warm air cooled down and the egg was sucked in.
In this photo he is showing us bio fuel from vegetable oil.
Scott told us that engineers are inventors. He is a mechanical engineer and makes valve and pipes work. He also works with sewage treatment.

He showed us funny video clips and engineering jobs gone wrong. Click on the title of this post and watch the you tube link of the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapsing!
