Kalama Science Club

Sorry. There was no science club on Wednesday. =(

We all were super busy and weren't able to go. But we apologize to Dr.Dee for not being able to make it, because she will not be able to join us next week to help us solder. =(

So we are very sorry, but luckily Mrs.P knows what to do and is going to help us solder.

We have found out what was wrong with the thruster!

With our finest disecters Mickey and Janell they have found out what was wrong with the thruster. And it was the faulty wiring. But we have learned from this expierience and now know when we build our second seaperch we will double check the wiring. 

And now while they disected the thruster Sara, Alesha, Coleson, and Ms.Riddle worked on building the new thruster. And so next week Sara and Alesha will work on that while Caitlyn and Coleson supe...

We tested the three motors after pouring the wax into the film canister, and letting it cool in the freezer. As we tested the first wire which was the orange and white. It didnt work. So we thought there might be a connection probalem or a malfunction. So we moved onto the next wires and tried those out. And SUCCESS! They worked! So we tried the orange and white wires, but still no progress. It didnt work. It could be a ton of reasons, it could be that wax was exposed to the wiring of some so...

Janell and Sara melted toilet bowl wax by using a single portable stove top burner, 3 glass cups, water, a pot, and water.
First we put an inch of water into the pot and set the pot onto the burner. Then cut little pieces of the wax and put it into the glass cups. And place the cups in the pot of hot water. And put some water in the other two jars to push up against the jar with wax, just to weigh it down.

To make the proscess more efficient we took an extra glass and put a couple extra piece...

We have science club this afternoon and we are planning to melt the toilet bowl ring wax onto seaperch and we have old visitors! My good friend Alesha is coming to science club today along with my old peers Persuasion and Jamielynn. They have done previous science projects with us and so they are coming today to see what we are up too. So we are really excited.

Okay on Monaday we didn't work on seaperch. In fact we did 3 science experiments. On turbitity, temperature, and Ph sampling. It is practice for when we go to Waihee beach in May to test out seaperch. But there is still a long way to go with seaperch and we will be melting wax onto seaperch tomorrow at our next meeting. Until then ta ta for now.

YAY! We have succesfully finished soldering and as you can see in the picture below, is the final creation of the wiring done by our smart technology engineers Coleson and Caitlyn.

Now the next meeting we have on Monday April 5, 2010 is when we consoladate all of the parts onto seaperch. And hopefully during that time Sara, Mickey, and Janell can blog about what's going on. But until then...Happy Easter!
