Today we had an AMAZING day at Star Base. First, when we entered the classroom we learned about nano technology. Eventually, we did an experiment with two different sand types. One was normal sand, the other was Aqua sand. The amazing thing about Aqua sand is that it doesn’t get wet! When it is placed in to water, air bubbles form around it protecting it from the water.

Then the next thing we did was we compared the textures of different pieces of fabric. We checked if they were hydrophobic or hydrophilic. A was hydrophilic and B was hydrophobic.

Next, Ms. Ogawa gave everyone a ship and she had us choose materials to strap an egg down to it. The materials were a rubber band, band aid, string, and a sponge. They sent everyone’s ship down and my group was not successful. The ship hit the wall and Commander Egg-man came flying out.

We then had lunch and recess.

After that we went to Mr. Pace’s room. We learned about robots and that all robots have a body, behavior, and control. We then coded a Lego robot that connected to an app. We can drag the instructions on the program and then link it to the robot. That allows the robot to do a certain action. That was the conclusion of my day at Star Base.
