We hope you were able to come out to the science fair. It was great to see all the cool things studied and reported on the posters. Maybe you spent some time making a jumping origami frog, or puff ball shooter (or both!). Below are instructions so you can make more frogs or puff ball shooters at home. Enjoy!</div>

Think Thanksgiving is only eating and more eating? Well, there is quite a lot of work that happens before the noshing. Check out this article by Thomas Humphrey to learn about what factors need to be taken account when you double the weight of a turkey. Can you apply this knowledge to anything else? Give it a try and let us know. I'm always available for taste testing, too!<br />

We once again had a great turnout for our Science Fair this year. It is fun to look at all the experiments, listen to students explain their experiment and in general see everyone having fun. For me this year a highpoint was walking down the corridor listening to a daughter say to her dad, "Science Fairs are fun, aren't they Dad?". That's what it is all about - making the science fun and interesting, and seeing it all around you. However, it is also nice to see that this experiment of adding a Science Fair to our school has had some very positive measurable results. The April 26th edition of Northshore Connections mentions Fernwood Elementary as one of the schools recognized by the Washington State Board of Education and the
Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction as making exceptional gains in student achievement in science. Also, when I attended the Skyview Junior High Parents night for incoming 7th graders, the seventh grade science teacher mentioned how the students from Fernwood really "got" the scientific methods already. Congratulations to all the parents, teachers and kids who worked hard on the Science Fair and projects - your hard work has really paid off. Thank you, Amy Oliver, for getting the whole thing started!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
My 6th grader and I are moving on to Skyview and I hope that someone will take over the blog. It is a fun way to contribute and easy to do. If anyone wishes to take over the blog, contact me through the blog or Amy at <a href="mailto:amyroliver@gmail.com">amyroliver@gmail.com</a>. In the meantime, keep exploring the world around you!</div>

<div class="instructions" style="color: #772222;">
Mix all ingredients together, dough will be sticky. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Add a small amount of flour and knead for 10 minutes. Shape into loaf or rolls (egg is best in rolls). Place in greased pans and let rise until doubled. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes for bread. For rolls, bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.</div>

Students can explore the hidden energy in potatoes by making a potato battery. Remove the button battery from a low-voltage LED clock. Insert one galvanized nail each in two potatoes. On the opposite end of each potato, insert one piece of heavy copper wire. Using an alligator clip, connect the copper wire of potato one to the positive terminal in the clock's battery compartment. Connect the copper wire of potato two to the negative terminal using an alligator clip. Use a third alligator clip to connect the nail in potato one to the copper wire of potato two. The clock will now work. </span></span><br />

Give each child a small baby jar container filled halfway with whipping cream. Place a marble inside of each jar. Shake the jar vigorously until the cream becomes butter. Take note of whose turns into butter first and how steadily or quickly the student shook the jar. Make a chart of the time it took different children's cream to change into butter. Talk about churns and other methods of making butter in the Pilgrims' times.</span></span></span></span></h2>

The Stratos mission is a work in progress, they have experienced delays and are at the mercy of weather and equipment performance. Read below and watch on Sunday to see if they make it this time.....<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Mission:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Red Bull Stratos, a mission to the edge of space, will attempt to transcend human limits that have existed for 50 years. Supported by a team of experts Felix Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground. His attempt to dare atmospheric limits holds the potential to provide valuable medical and scientific research data for future pioneers.</b><br />
<br />
Check out <a href="http://www.redbullstratos.com/">http://www.redbullstratos.com/</a> to watch the live mission unfold.<br />

What to do:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fill the vessel about half full with water, now mix in your
food coloring. Pour the oil on top so
the total volume is no more than ¾ of your vessel. Gently pour a BIG handful of salt so it sort
of rests on the oil. Watch the water
carefully. See the oil get dragged down
into the water and then rise again to the surface? Pretty cool, huh. Now do it again. How much salt is optimum? Is it best to add the salt quickly or
slowly? You can rinse this out and
repeat as many times as you like!<o:p></o:p></div>

Then take a deep breath and blow it up.<br />
Did it work? Why not? <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOPj63t5gRuMEHknyQkbGHVEiYWd2Fi92Euquih7smwkLmh1kMgK2WA24smjCFYrdgidptuAnWK4Eq-vjH6cPlEGFv49h26DPUxsQ9wzyjLcG-iV1BjZVamNioJtjaxMNBVFvk_Cm5A9Y/s1600/bottle.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOPj63t5gRuMEHknyQkbGHVEiYWd2Fi92Euquih7smwkLmh1kMgK2WA24smjCFYrdgidptuAnWK4Eq-vjH6cPlEGFv49h26DPUxsQ9wzyjLcG-iV1BjZVamNioJtjaxMNBVFvk_Cm5A9Y/s1600/bottle.JPG" /></a>Try it again and put a straw in the opening next to the balloon. See if you can fill the bottle! </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
What’s going on? The balloon won't inflate much the first time because the bottle is already filled with air. There's no room for the balloon to expand inside the bottle. However, when you use the straw, the air molecules in the bottle have an exit. Try plugging the straw once the balloon is inflated to see what happens. </div>

In addition to landing on the Martian surface, the team collects and analyzes geologic samples and launches exploratory probes to the two moons of Mars. The excitement takes place in the Museum's Challenger Learning Center, a facility designed to simulate space missions for large groups using a full-scale mission control center and a spacecraft cabin. Each mission uses hands-on activities engaging participants in teamwork, communication, problem-solving and critical thinking. And it is fun! $15, $10 ages 10 to 17, those younger than 16 must be accompanied by an adult, pre-register by Oct. 19. Museum admission not included.</b></div>

Spring is time for some truly awesome
weather. Some of the most amazing (and
frightening) events are tornadoes. We
don’t get those around here so much, and maybe that’s good. We can still appreciate them and enjoy them
in a bottle. Here’s how to make one with
stuff you have around the house.</div>

you like.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> <span style="font-size: small;">P</span></span>ull off a strip of duct tape about 10 cm (4
inches) long and place it on the edge of a table, where you can reach it.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>With a dry towel, make sure the neck of the

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Put the empty bottle on top of the full one,
neck-to-neck, and tape them together with our short strip of tape so that they
stay toegether and they’re straight.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Now wrap them with a long length of duct
tape. The more neatly you wrap, the
better it will work.</div>

6.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Turn your tornado twister upside down and give

<span style="color: purple; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">What’s
Happening?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gravity pulls the water down into the empty bottle. But the empty one isn’t really empty. It’s full of air. When the water swirls through the necks of
the bottles, an open space forms in the middle.
It’s a whirlpool. The air in the
lower bottle can flow up through the open center of the whirlpool into the
upper bottle. The spinning water holds a
steady shape. Without the whirlpool to
let the air go by, the water burbles its way through. The flow is not smooth and it’s often much
slower than the whirlpool’s flow.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tornadoes work the same way.
When huge air masses move across the ground, they start to roll like a
carpet. If one rolling air mass runs
into another rising warm one, the rolling mass gets tipped on end and the
rising warm air rushes up through the whirling middle. Tornado wind speeds are often over 400
kilometers per hour, often more than twice as fast as winds in a hurricane! And, you’ve got a whirling tornado in a
bottle.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What to do:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bend your thin wire around a
small to medium sized pot to create a circle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Make sure you have a handle so you can keep hold of your circle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tie about 6 inches worth of thread so you
have a loop; then tie this to your circle of wire away from your handle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now you have a home-made bubble maker!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next fill your wide container with bubble
solution (make sure your container is wide enough to allow the whole of your
wire circle in all at once).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add about
1tsp of glycerin or corn syrup to your bubble solution and stir gently
(stirring vigorously will make it hard to get the solution to coat your
wire—too many bubbles!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dip your wire
circle into the soap making sure the thread gets coated as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>GENTLY remove the circle from the container
making sure the film is suspended between your wire with the thread hanging
inside the film.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now using your
toothpick gently poke a hole in just the thread.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Watch what happens. . . <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What is going on:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your thread probably wasn’t a
circle before you poked your hole, but became one quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why did it do that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soap film likes to take up the smallest area
possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being in a circle means the
forces pulling on the soap are minimized.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The soap will pull on the thread to create a circle, thereby reducing
the force within the film and taking up the smallest area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Think this is only child’s
play?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Physicists are finding that soap
films mimic behavior seen in black holes agreeing nicely with Einstein’s
theories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only that, but
mathematicians are finding soap films can help them solve and understand
complex problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What will you discover
with this seemingly simple soap bubble?<o:p></o:p></span></div>Simple Sciencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06770096294245170219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146316042189860221.post-28511381076077437182012-05-02T12:44:00.002-07:002012-05-02T12:44:53.921-07:00Bubbles and Black Holes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE5KLzxNlLmCHz6TO3ZZEKMziqXokl6P7-iYJo1bSvLxCn_e1qEl0ciY6afKykci-YX4pJ30xeGMv-owJ4I6L0CO_9fiwxd9BX5W9nJ3al_38esksQFWgfC_PVx0zYGwTgOCA4ptoILug/s1600/bubbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE5KLzxNlLmCHz6TO3ZZEKMziqXokl6P7-iYJo1bSvLxCn_e1qEl0ciY6afKykci-YX4pJ30xeGMv-owJ4I6L0CO_9fiwxd9BX5W9nJ3al_38esksQFWgfC_PVx0zYGwTgOCA4ptoILug/s1600/bubbles.jpg" /></a><strong><u>More on Bubbles:</u></strong><br />

Keep this straw in the right side of your mouth. Hold the second straw with the left side of your mouth making sure it is NOT in your drink. Take another sip. What happened? Okay, switch the straws around. Sip again. Hey! Did you break those straws?

Moms and Dads, Uncles and Aunts, Grandparents and even your older siblings are wanted to make this an evening of excellent exploration, and delightful discovery. We’ve got jobs for every comer—setting-up, cleaning-up, licorice dispensing, demonstration monitoring, and speaker timing.
