Some Things To Look Forward To In The Afternoon Wonderwise Labs!

This experiment involved investigating a frozen balloon which made a huge ice cube, to which we added food coloring, rock salt, table salt, and anything else we could get our hands on! 

 

Have you ever wondered what one strawberry's DNA looks like? Well here it is! All those nucleotides rolled up into a visible coil. Pretty cool huh?! We completed this experiment with only common household items!

 Last but not least, this is the pasta tower challenge. Participants are given one yard of tape, one yard of string, twenty uncooked spaghetti sticks, and one giant marshmallow. The winner is the group with the tallest tower with marshmallow on top that stands up without support after fifteen minutes. And the winner is.... the group with your very own M. Dayon! Our tower, pictured here, stands at 27 inches. Can you beat this?

A special shout out to the wonderwise group, PASA, and my group mates including Liz and Alexis! We had such a blast getting trained on how to be better teamleaders so we can share the knowledge with all of you!

Note to Parents and Educators: We came home with a booklet of lots of other fun science projects you can do with simple household items. For more project ideas, or the list of materials and procedures for the above experiments, email me at edayon_8185@email.ric.edu Thanks!
