Engineers Week

We took part in Engineers Week in school. We got involved in lots of activities that had different aspects of engineering in them. We made different structures such as houses, towers, apartments and buildings using mini-marshmallows and spaghetti. We tested the speed of a balloon when it is tapped both hard and gently to see which force helps it to travel a longer distance. We participated in an experiment with Ms Moran's class using diet coke and mentos to see what would happen when they are mixed together. There was a big explosion which was really cool!
