Onizuka Science Day :)

Oi, welcome to another blog post.
This post is about, SCIENCE DAAYYYY!

A few weeks ago, we went to a Science day. We got to choose two out of twenty activity's to do. I picked
-Making cupcakes
-Squishy Monsters
Making Cupcakes: Pretty easy to guess what you do in this activity. MAKE CUPCAKES!!
Well you don't get to bake them, just decorate them with icing. I love to bake cakes and cupcakes so this was a great activity for me, plus you got to eat them, bonus!
Aren't these yummy!

This is my cupcake. I put every different kind of icing on it that they had. The cupcake beside it is my mum's. It's really pretty isn't it? It looks like an Hawaiian beach.

 At Lunch there were activities you could play. Like this one, which I mastered :) It was a so easy. The questions were like: 'Where is the Spaceship?"
I think it was meant for younger minds.


After the activities we sat down to eat our free lunch. Our lunch contained a ham sandwich, a pack of chips and a juice box.

In the afternoon we had an another session called Squishy Monsters. It was a class where we learnt about creating electric circuits using wires which you needed to connect.
We used different colored special clay. One had salt in it and the other had sugar in the ingredients. The salt in the clay acted as a conductor of electricity. Whereas, the sugar in the clay acted as an insulator. In other words, one would let the electrical current in and the other would block it. We had to connect the wires to make a circuit to turn the lights on.


You got to make these funny little clay monsters out of them.

 After we finished our activities there was a Science Magic Show. The guy who did it was a high school teacher, who was really funny. I would love him as my Science High School teacher.
The Magic Show was cool because he made rockets explode, got kids up to demonstrate fun activities and did other interesting science experiments.


*****
The Science Day was dedicated to Ellison Onizuka. He was one of the astronauts who was on the Challenger Space Shuttle when it exploded 73 secs after it rocketed into space, back in 1986. Ellison Onizuka grew up on the Big Island of Hawai'i.
His brother came to talk at the science day.

Onizuka Science Day was so much fun. We learnt all about Space Science.
