Science Roadshow Review By: Michael




“YAY! Were going to the Science Roadshow” I said. Today we are going on a trip to a Science Roadshow which is happening at Wairau Intermediate. I really hope they make it exciting for us! They said at first when we got there “Please get in the hall line by line” Shane said. We all did as instructed. We then sat down and listened to his exciting water show. After a couple of minutes we got to try out the experiments that they put out. We had some extras for experts cards and you had to answer 2 or more questions to enter the competition box. I answered all of them correctly and put my entry the box and waited…and hoped mine would get selected.


Later we went and sat down and listened to another  show which was about electricity and was very interesting and my favourite show. We encountered a tesla invention which is big but not too big. It conducted electricity. We heard and watched the cool loud purple lighting that made different patterns like the ones you see in lightning photos but no thunder. Plus a unplugged lightbulb lit up from the electricity! Soon after that we had to leave. The next day we talked about our favourite parts of the Science Roadshow. My favourite part was the water gun spaying me and others around me. Next time I hope they have a hover car to show us, but the 3-D printer was pretty cool.

Science Roadshow

 It’s the Science Roadshow at Wairau Intermediate. It was held on Wednesday afternoon,and guess what it was AWESOME ! Now I’m going to tell you all about it!
 The first experiment was the one which was a cup of warm water and ice. You put a cup of ice into the warm cup of water and they reviewed the world's water supply. One person was a giant, he was even much taller than Mr Gordon! Then after the experiments we got to stand up and test some experiments for ourselves. One of the experiment stations was the plazma ball and if you touched the plazma and the metal it gave you a little electric shock. Then the Science Roadshow came to an end. We went back to our buses and they drove back to school. It was so cool. I hope I can go again next year and  that they bring back some of the experiments.

This week we were fortunate to visit the Science Roadshow. We enjoyed the demonstrations and the range of 'hands on' experiments. Below are some pictures from our visit. Science Roadshow - Sunnybrae on PhotoPeach
