Science week review

Hi guys!

Here is what we did in our wonderful science week!

We started that week on Tuesday 27^th April and we finished it on Friday 30^th.

On Tuesday, we, the junior class, first did a lesson about acids and bases with the only woman of the week, Ingrid. I really enjoyed that lesson because I learned quite a lot and I discovered things I would never think of otherwise.

Then, in the afternoon, we had lessons with Peter, the funny one. We learned about colours, more exactly which colours our eye really sees and how they are really called. The prime colours are cyan, yellow and magenta. [Are you sure about this?]

He showed us how you do to make dark blue, which is made by 2 cells of cyan and 1 of magenta. But then, the best part came. We could paint ourselves and we took some cool pictures.

Next day, Wednesday, we had Matthew first to make some solar cells. We did boys vs. girls for the one who makes the most electricity out of the cell.

The total made the boys winner! We also learned how all the colours were made. Black is made out of purple, green....and many other colours!

It was a cool morning!!!

In the afternoon, we had Ingrid to make a special art method where we had to use chemicals. We took some flowers from outside (sorry nature), we put them on our paper, which had been put into the formula, we exposed it to the sun and then the image of our flowers was on the paper because the chemicals react to light. We made many of those!

In the evening, we could watch the science show well made by Peter and the parents were also invited.

Thursday, the juniors went hiking and visited a glacier. It also was a nice day.

Friday, the middles went hiking but the juniors went on with the art thingy (it surely has another name). [developing photographs, perhaps? Maybe someone else can tell us about this activity]

A big thanks to the scientist group for that wonderful week!
