Our young scientists were inquisitive and methodical yesterday when they launched their own energy experiments, using the six stations. One group wondered if the energy from live wire could move a ball of paper. Another group wanted to find out how close an activated battery needs to be to a compass to affect it. For their prediction, they said, "Mrs. Woods, we may need to go outside for this!" They were shocked to discover the effect on the compass happens as close as 3 inches!
They will have another opportunity to explore their own energy questions by creating experiments next week.
