sphero

 before lockdown we tested a ball that moves from coding. it is called sphero. you can make it go really fast and really slow by using the app. it is bluetooth connected and can have different types. the types we used was sphero mini and is about $60 and spark which is about $300. it was fun but really tricky. i love coding and playing with technology. 

 

today i did a book review on a book it is called, miri and raru. the story is about a girl called miri and she likes drawing monsters. her teacher miss latka doesn't like her drawing in class. so she draws a monster and it comes to life.

last week we were learning to make comics. its very cool because its free and all on one app. here is a link to the app https://app.pixton.com/#/ also i found it pretty hard but my friend alex helped me and i ended up doing 23 slides. i hope you like my comic, its pretty funny

egg drop challenge

 Today we were learning about newton's first law, inertia. we experimented with an egg. all you need is a plastic plate, a egg, and a empty toilet roll. lets example it like this, we are like an object and gravity pulls us down but if there was nothing below us we would just keep going until we hit something. and when we set the plate and egg and toilet roll gravity pulls it all together with the surface as the stabilizer. to set it up first fill the cup just over half way, then put the plastic plate on top, then put the toilet roll on top of the plate standing up and put the egg sideways on top of the toilet roll. make sure not to swing your arm because it will go flying, so stand close to it and put your hand close, then slap the plate but not hard and don't swing.
