Electricity

This is my energy inquiry. I had to choose something to do with energy then make a informative slide and a creative thing to do with whatever our topic was. We could work in pairs, but I didn't, so it made it harder. I chose to do electricity because I wanted to make a bike-powered charger, but I didn't have enough time. The first topic I chose was Hydro-energy, but it was too hard to create a thing explaining/showing what Hydro-energy was. 

The hardest part was reading it out to the class because I'm not really good at that stuff. To be BTB, I could have made my slide more interesting. I wanted to draw something to do with electricity and how it worked, but I couldn't think of anything.

Potatoe chips

W.A.L.T. To make chips. We made the microwave version.

1. Pour the vegetable oil into a plastic bag (a produce bag works well).        Add the potato slices, and shake to coat.
2. Coat a large dinner plate lightly with oil or cooking spray. Arrange potato slices in a single layer on the dish.
3. Cook in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes

I enjoyed cutting the chips, but I didn’t enjoy cutting myself!

M&M experiment

I enjoyed doing the actual experiment first.

I found it tricky to pour the water carefully into the bowl without moving the M&M's.
