Eloise-Mae’s flying disc project

“I used a motor module, an on/off switch, spring connectors, a box base with holes and a flying disk. I connected them all by slotting the wires into the spring connectors, I then turned the switch on and it made the flying disk spin really fast. When I turn the switch off it flies up in the air.”

Charlie’s balloon experiment

Charlie ran a night at his local cubs group to show these experiments as science week was coming up.

The balloon experiment was very successful and they used different ratios of vinegar and bicarbonate soda to see how well the balloon would inflate. This was a great experiment for Charlie as he had the help of his cubs to pour the ingredients yet could feel the volume increase in size of the balloon once the reaction occurred.

His ability to use the circuit as he finds this really interesting was easy for Charlie so he could help his fellow cubs if they struggled. They were all super impressed with his science night.

Dayzie’s longest noise challenge

“I asked my Alexa to play a long loud noise!”

Benjamin’s periodic table experiment

Benji made his own experiment. He is obsessed with the periodic table, he ordered his favourite element, sodium, and put it in a tub of water. He wanted to see how long it took for a reaction to take place, as this years VICTA science theme is time.

Benji loved listening to the sodium hiss in the water, even more than that he loved hearing the bang of the reaction. Benji has light perception only, and was ecstatic when he saw the grass light up!

Freddie’s journey stick

Mum was at work, so grandma took me and my sister for a long walk. We found our sticks and then looked for interesting things to attach to them with some string. I found moss, interesting twigs, Forsythia Broom Ivy and leaves of different shapes and colours. My twin sister helped me and made her own journey stick.

A journey stick

It was fun, I loved finding everything in the forest. My stick is very colourful, I love it.
