Mind over Matter

Hello, welcome to another blog post! This blog post is about our latest project in science: Mind over matter. This project we learned about the different states of matter and atoms.

For the first keystone we chose an object and calculated its mass and made some observations. We did some math which I haven’t done for awhile. Overall it was interesting to learn about the mass and the calculations for everything.

For the second keystone we studied gummy bear diffusion. Basically what we did was choose a gummy bear and then chose a liquid to put it in. After a day we studied the differences. For this project me and my friend Claire worked together. We decided to see if there was a difference on how quickly each color diffused. We chose the colors : red, yellow and green. We observed that it seemed like red diffused the fastest and grew the biggest. I think this was a very fun project!

For the last keystone we coded a game on scratch. To be completely honest with you… I. Hate. Scratch. Oml it’s so confusing, I wasn’t here when the teacher explained it so I was quite confused. So to give you a run down, we had to make a game with something to do with what we learned. I made a maze game. Honestly I think that my game could have been more interesting. If we ever did a project like this I would definitely put much more effort into it. All things considered all my tears were worth the final product. I’m just kidding it was terrible but i still really enjoyed the concept!
