Making Light bulbs!

We used everything we have been learning about incandescent light bulbs and current to fashion our own light bulb. We used mechanical pencil lead as a filliment.

Happy Birthday Folu!

Light bulb diagrams

We diagramed 3 different types of light bulb. Incandescent, fluorescent, and LED. Some of the diagrams are still in progress.

Folu Teaches

Folu taught us all about why planets are round. We even got to make our own planet.

Valentines day conga line

We totally had an impromptu valentine's day conga line with our new sunglasses.

Science Exposition

We had a wonderful time with our science exposition projects. The students had to ask a light or electricity related question and design and conduct an experiment to answer their question. At the exposition, they presented their project and created an interactive piece.

Christopher Teaches

Christopher taught some of the many ninjitsu forms. He also taught us how to roll. Iris and Jarod were his assistants.
