HEAT SHIELD

Today Lena, Maya and I expieremented with heat shields, we didn't have that much time so we just made one. At first, our goal was to have it last for 1 minute, but then it acually lasted for 5 minutes, and would have lasted longer if bert hadn't turned the heat off. So, I really liked this is was very entertaining, and I don't have any questions.

Motors

Today Maya, Alice and I expieremented with motors. We rapped wire around a a straw, and then we took it off to create a wire circle. Then we tapped 2 paperclips to the side of the batter, and on the belly of the battery, we tapped a magnent. Once we did that, we attatched the wire circle to the paperclips, the magnetic energy between the wire and the battery was supposed to spin the circle around and around. It didn't work so great, instead the circle would just move a little bit.
