Science Play Activity

In class we were all assigned different science categories to teach the class. My topic was potential energy. At first I had no idea what that was, but after doing some research. I was able to obtain information and understand the topic. My partner and I created a poster that displayed information on the topic and different experiments. There were three experiments, our first experiment was showing the class how the potential energy of an object can be changed by simply raising an object. Our second experiment was displaying the effect of chemical reaction by placing pop rocks in a balloon over a bottle of coke and watching the balloon blow up. Lastly we did the famous mentos in a bottle of coke to end the class with an explosion. One of the topics that really caught my attention was the elliptical illusion. Our classmates displayed different photos that played games with your mind. For instance, there was a photo that looked as if it was moving. And my all time favorite of course is the picture of the  black/blue or gold/white dress controversy. Overall, This activity was very educational, yet fun which was a win, win for us all.
