Science Night

[wendymom]

Team 1902 does a hands on science demo for third graders every month. The first month we took our bots, Big bot, vex bot and lego bots. We showed them some of the PR videos from last year. Explained all about the competitions and did some driving demos. We didnt let them drive as those were the only bots we had.

The next month was the physics party tricks. How to pull a tablecloth out from underneath dishes without moving them using inertia. Bubble in the bag showing lung capacity, other things like that. I will see if I can find the instructions for them all.

This month is the science of winter.....lots of stuff with ice crystals stuff like that.

Mentos and coke is always fun as is exploding film canisters using chemical reactions. (just put a tissue full of baking soda in a film canister, drop in some vinager and close the top and flip it.)

Check out girl scout and boy scout badge books for some other ideas.

Good luck....its really fun. The kids really get into it and they all want to be on the robot team when they get older.
