To start off the day we learnt how you can float better in saltwater than lake water. To help explain we did an experiment: we got 3 glasses of water and put 2 scoops of salt in one 4 in one and 0 in the other. The egg ,which we were making float, only managed to float in the cup that had 4 tablespoon of salt.
Next we did another experiment to see how many Fungiform Papillae (taste buds) we had. I had 15 and that meant I had very good active test buds! After break, we went into the hall to have a video call with a lady whose job was a chemical engineer! Then we had lunch. Then we had a call from another lady who looked after the A19! Then it was the end of another fab STEM the day! - Ava
Wednesday was the third day of the fantastic Stem week and its thrilling adventures . It all started when we were told to find out about how the dead seas swimmers can float in that environment. We then experimented on eggs to see how they float depending on how much salt is in the water. We painted our tongue to see our taste buds by using food colouring to see if we fit in these categories which we all fit into however we found out which ones we were in, we had to use a holepunched paper, our tongues, our taste buds or scientifically known as fungiform Papillae and food coloring. The majority of the class was either a taster or a non taster, to fit into these categories we have to have a certain amount of taste buds which appear when we eat. Fewer people were supertasters. After we had a virtual meeting. We learned all about what a civil engineer is and what they do. This is to introduce more opportunities for us to see what job we want to pursue when we are an adult. Next we had another meeting which instead was with a chemical engineer. It was a great day! - Hadi
