Shakeout- outside

Yesterday Mr Gilmore asked Room 11 if we knew what to do if we were outside when an earthquake struck. So today we used PicCollage to show him the answer. You move away from trees and buildings a few steps, and you drop, cover and hold. If you are out in the middle of the field, this means you need to make a turtle.

More Inertia investigations!

We had some more fun today with our inertia experiments, and we used Slo-Mo on the iPads to record what happened. Here are a few of our videos.

The Great New Zealand Shake-out!

It felt like it was actually shaking!!! It felt real. It was fun. It was squishy under the tables. Everybody did it sensibly. Everybody was being good under the tables, and nobody did it crazily! Someone said it was very uncomfortable cos she had to hold onto two table legs. Someone else said she kept knocking her head on the table!

We are glad we all know what to do if an actual earthquake happens!

Science Investigations -Inertia!

Today we have been exploring inertia. We have been trying to get an 'egg' to fall into the glass. We filmed some using slo-mo so we could really observe what was going on!
