Science experiments

Avec leurs professeurs d'anglais et de documentation les élèves ont blogué en anglais sur le thème "science experiment". Après avoir choisi une expérience ils ont rédigé la fiche explicative de l'expérience à partir des questions suivantes : 1-Why is  this experience or invention useful ? What is its usefulness? 2-What are the materials or products used? 3- What do you have to do to achieve the experience? Can you describe precisely the different steps to achieve the experience or the invention? 4- What are the various difficulties met to achieve the experiment? 5- In which fields can we use this experiment? ( Industry, medical field, sports field, environment, everyday life…). 6- Explain the reasons why you chose this experiment and why it appealed to you? Dans un deuxième temps, les élèves ont blogué et commenté les expériences pour élire la vidéo la plus...funny!! Les professeurs : J. POULAIN et L. JEAN

Experience with the air pressure

1-Why is this experience or invention useful? What is its usefulness?                 This experience is useful for the young children or for physicist. Is its useful for other experiences with the air.       2-What are the materials or products used?                 For this experience you need a wide-mouth bottle, a cooked egg, a newspaper and a lighter. 3- What do you have to do to achieve the experience? Can you describe precisely the different steps to achieve the experience or the invention? You need take a wide-mouth bottle, you take the newspaper, light it on fire and the air is going to be heated up inside this. It is going to actually rush out past the egg. Put the egg in top of the bottle, if you look carefully at the egg you will see it vibrate very quickly. That is going to lower the pressure inside the bottle and hopefully the air will push it in. You wait five seconds and the eggs go in the background of the bottle. 4- What are the various difficulties me

Balloon experiment

Image
The experiment uses balloon and pins. Place the pins on the table and put the balloon on the pins. It is not really useful in the scientific field. The materials are one balloon, a lot of pins and a brick house. He needs to put the balloon on the pins and place the brick house on the balloon that is on the pins. 1- Put one pin on the table and place the balloon on and he explode. 2- Put a lot of pins on the table and tidy their then place the balloon on and place a brick house on the balloon that is in the pins. S everal tacks prevent a tear from forming and the balloon explodes, just as a human talk on hot coal. For bring to a close we have chosen this experiment because it’s funny.

1-Why is this experience or invention useful? What is its usefulness? This experience it’s not useful in real life. It’s just to play and protect the egg, we say the egg is transparent and we can see the light through it . This experience is only a game for have fun.  2-What are the materials or products used? We needed one egg, one glass and 100 ml of vinegar.   3- Can you describe precisely the different steps to achieve the experience or the invention? Firstly we can take 2 glasses, after you put on egg in one glass and pour vinegar into the glass with one egg. And you want to wait 2 days. Now you peel off what’s left of the shell. You can see an amazing egg.  It bounces but when you cut it the egg flows. Finally, you have a bouncy egg . We can see the egg fluorescent when it is on the light. 4- What were the various difficulties met to achieve the experiment? There is not difficult, but we want meet the difficulties as to break the egg and you want to wait 2
