Experimenting with Everyday Objects

Can a paper-clip swim? Can you blow a tin-foil ball when it is in a bottle? How does a tea-light ride a lift?

After  three days of the `Experimenting with Everyday Objects`project the pupils of Gete School have the answers. There were twenty stations for the children to perform different experiments. They discovered that it is very difficult to blow out a candle through a funnel or to blow up a balloon that is in a bottle.They built jellybaby submarines and  made an oboe out of a drinking-straw.

The kids were very enthusiastic participants in this project and it was just a shame it was only three days; the pupils would have been happy to carry on experimenting !
