Today is our 2ND LAST DAY AT ENRICH:( I know its devastating but at least I'm off to secondary school next year :). Anyway today at Enrich we carried on with our must do's and picks after last weeks sickening test with the eyeball. This week I decided to take something a bit more pleasant. So I chose EGG DROP!!! with Alana. It was physics about gravity and inertia. First we filled up the glass with water and we laid the plastic sign on to the glass then we put toilet roll on top and then put the eggs sideways on the toilet roll then we HIT the plastic away and the egg landed in the glass it was EPIC!!!. We had to do it 3 times for it to be fair. But one that I did shattered because I did it too lightly - it looked like I patted a little kitten Alana said! We had to write the results afterwards. We learnt that when something is in a state of inertia light friction will not affect it and it will fall below into the glass from gravity.
Today at Enrich we did a workshop called Thinkers Key the purpose of it was to make us think outside of the box. We had had to line up on the wood and were split into groups again I was on my own :( but I was with Alana :) we had to start with variations we had to think of other ways to communicate without speaking. The record was 23 but my group managed to steal the lead with 24. After that my group rotated to Katie she was doing the ridiculous key. The ridiculous key is a silly statement but what would be the benefit of it such as 6 year olds being able to drive.
Today at Enrich we continued with our Must Dos and Picks. I only had to do 1 must do to complete the must do section of it. I had to do S.C.A.M.P.E.R Environment based with Alana. When Alana started the workshop we watched the HILARIOUS S.C.A.M.P.E.R video. We could not stop laughing once the mayhem was over we had to choose any environment . M y group chose Max's dads brewery but we did not have enough time to finish. We came up with creative ideas like substituting alcoholic drinks for kid friendly drinks so that children can be entertained there too, or M - mega, make the brewery bigger so that it can produce more beer!
Today at Enrich we had a special guest it was JAKE'S DAD Grant he is from the Sea Shepherd campaign. They are an anti whaling group. He came to talk to us about the Japanese killing whales and throwing them back in the ocean. He talked about how we could help and what he does. Sea Shepherd crew throw stink bombs at the whaling ships because the gas makes the meat go rotten so that all they can do is use them for scientific research.
