Pendulum Painting

Pendulum Painting 
Created By: Eden, Tui, Sophie & Kaiau

Title:   A Splash Of Color  

    Equipment:

  • String 
  • Cup 
  • Funnel 
  • Pin/skewer 
  • Paint 
  • Popsicle sticks 
  • Water 
  • Bowl to mix paint 
  • Paper 
  • Chairs 
  • Large rocks 

    Method:

  1. Put a ruler on top of two chairs and tie it to the chairs. 
  2. Punch a smallish hole in the bottom of a paper cup and tie the cup to the ruler. 
  3. Make a mixture of water and paint try not to make it runny. 
  4. Pour the mix into the Funnel or cup. 
  5. Lift the dispenser then let it go and watch the magic happen. 
  6. If the paint doesn't come out then add more water or check for lumps


    Attempt One
    The First Attempt didn't work out well. We added WAY to much water and it soaked the paper. 
    Attempt Two
    The next attempt we added less water and we changed the paint to see if it would help. It didn't we still added TO much water.
    Attempt Three  
    Attempt Three did not get a photo because the paper got soaked by the water flowing from the Tap. 
    Attempt Four 
    After Having our break we had some advice from one of our classmates. He said if we try something like a funnel it may work better. After break we tried it and it kind of worked the pattern wasn't amazing but we were on the right track.




    Attempt Five 
    Final Attempt was our best attempt. We used gold paint and poured it into the funnel and success when we let it go it kind of slatted  a line but we liked it. We decided to add another color and it did the same thing SPLAT but we ended up really liking it.

    Conclusion:

    In conclusion the paint doesn't need much water for this and we need a lot of paint to make an effective art piece. The higher the funnel or cup is the more it drips and splatters, the lower the funnell the more it control it has and the better art because it stays a long line instead of dripping. This experiment was harder than we thought.

Science- Balloon In Jar With Zak and Bridget

Today We had Mr Cook come in and show us and teach us this really cool experiment. We only used: a Balloon, Hot Water, Jug, cold cloth and Butter to lobe up the bottle. I really enjoyed doing this experiment we did pop the balloons a few time sadly.
