Today I went to the Science Center! I will be telling you what I saw, which was Mrs. Calyton getting into a metal cage with a lot of bolts hitting the cage. Also what I learned at the Science Center, as well as telling you what my favorite part was. First I will tell you why we went to the Science Center, it was because we got to make candy! But it wasn't just for fun, it was for our mixtures and solutions unit in science.
What I saw at the Science Center, was Mrs. Clayton getting into a small little cage with a lot of bolts hitting the cage that she was in. Mrs.Clayton went in there, because the Science Center was doing an electricity show which looked like lightning. But there were mainly just showing science, but when they asked for volunteers Mrs.Clayton raised her hand. Once Mrs.Clayton had gone in the metal cage they told everyone to plug their ears a bit with their hands, then a bunch of electricity went to go hit Mrs.Clayton's cage. Everyone in our class that was there had fun watching Mrs.Clayton in the cage that was getting struck with electricity.
What I learned was how to make lollipops by hand, which is science if you don't know. It is simpler than you think. Before making the candy, we got to learn where a few products with sugar came from, as well as, with some of them we got to learn how it got produced. For example honey, honey came from nectar in flowers that bees ate. Then when the bees got back to their hive, they threw up the nectar in the body which turned into honey. So, the lady there said that we are pretty much eating bees vomit. EEWWW! But when we learned how to make lollipops it was ver fun, but we learned how much sugar was in there, 3 CUPS! Thats a lot of sugar!
My favorite part at the Science Center was when we got to make cotton candy, with a cotton candy machine. The worst part to me was when we added more colored sugar into the cotton candy machine, so then when we turned it on sugar was flying every where. So when it hit our neck, it really hurt! But it was fun to twist the stick around and eat a lot of cotton candy!
So that was my AMAZING day at the Science center. There are many, many other fun things that I did with my friends Alexa and Meaghan. But those were almost all that I did at the Science Center. it was a fun, Awesome day!
