Science badges

In term 4, Kaupeka got to choose if they want to do a maths and science badge for the rest of the year. I chose to do a science badge because I love science a lot and its so interesting. there are different topics for science like home chemistry, home physics, zoology and a lot more. You get a badge for each topic complete. I chose to do home chemistry and home physics. To get a badge for each topic, you need to get 20 stars on that topic. Down below is one of my assignments I completed.

In Home physics, one of the assignments was to make a telephone using 2 cans or pots that are similar and you needed some string. What I did first was get 2 empty Pringles jars and I also got some string. Then I got my dad to help me drill a hole on each can at the bottom for the string to get through. I then put the string through and tied knots so they wont fall out. One of the questions for the assignment asked "Can you make it work around corners? How?" So I wrote a brief report on how it works.

"You can make it go around corners as long as you make the it so that the string is looped and twisted around a solid object so where the string is twisted, it forms a continuous vibration. If the string is gong around the corner and it touches something that doesn't vibrate, then it wont work."

This assignment was 2 stars and I know need 18 more to get a badge.
Are you doing a science or maths badge?
