Highlights from Physical Science projects

See a few pictures of some Physical Science projects below. Thanks Brooke for the excellent photos!


Kamryn and Geneva hooking up some limes. Who would think that these things generate electricity?!?


Kyle putting textbooks to good use (as weights to hold down his popsicle stick bridge supports). Yes, we do also read them.


Jordan investigates differences in animal skulls (did you know there are some major structural differences between a fox and a wolf?)

Fun with Liquid Nitrogen

In preparation for our "Got Science?" science demonstration this Thursday, we spent part of last week experimenting with liquid nitrogen. One of the most impressive experiments is to confine liquid nitrogen in a bottle. Because liquid N2 boils at -321 F, it generates a massive amount of steam (and pressure). Eventually, the bottle bursts in a powerful explosion. When confined and arranged under 1000 ping pong balls, the result is pretty neat! We also succeeded in creating water bottle rockets, deflating balloons in liquid nitrogen and getting liquid air, and other interesting projects. Thanks to Kyle Litwack for this video.
