Virtual Science Day

11/12/2020

0 Comments

 
Science Day was held on October 10 through GoToMeeting and YouTube videos. There were a dozen people who attended this event.

We had three live sessions, including a Science Scavenger Hunt, which taught members some science terms, Non-Newtonic liquid experiment with cornstarch and water and a paper airplanes session, which taught members about aerodynamics and some physics.

There were also seven YouTube videos for the members. These included:
  • Soil Science with Brett - Brett Rumpel send in a video with a quick experiment. She explained how to find out how much water your soil can hold to see if it is good for growing. She showed examples from three different kinds of soil.
  • Using Soil As a Filter with Dylan - Dylan Watt sent in a video explaining how soil filters our water and makes it safe for consumption. He showed members how to make an easy filter out of simple items.
  • Borax crystals - Shelby showed members how to make a borax crystal ornament they can hang in their house and explained the chemistry behind this fun experiment.
  • Psychology of Music - Jodi showed how music can change the way you think about a scene. She switched out the music in a scene to show how it changes what you think is going to happen and explained some of the psychology behind it.
  • Chemistry Cakes - Jodi made four different cakes, but in three of them, left out key ingredients. She then explained how baking is chemistry and encouraged the members to try the experiment themselves.
  • Wind Science - Shelby made an anemometer and explained how to use this fun creation to calculate wind speed.
  • Soil Dessert - this video first explained the layers of soil to the members. They then used edible ingredients (cookies, pudding, chocolate) to represent the layers in a fun layered dessert.

The members who attended all had a great time! They hope to share some of the videos with their 4-H clubs. We look forward to seeing more members attending some of our virtual events in the future!
