"Magic Show"

This morning my class met in the Little Theater because today we were going to present our experiments to a live audience. First thing was first every group got together with their scientist and helped set up for the demonstrations. The scientists put on their lab coats and goggles and were ready to perform. The Lab Techs helped the scientist prepare then watched patiently in the audience. The stage hands helped set up the lights and curtains and the reporters, like myself, also sat patiently in the audience ready to document the demonstrations with words, pictures, and videos. Each group went out and performed their experiments some were really interesting but some did not collaborate as planned. Then it was my groups turn, I was a little nervous on how well my group's scientist, Adalberto, was going to do speaking to the audience because yesterday we had no time to rehearse what he was going to say. I had nothing to worry about because he did great he spoke loudly for the audience to hear him and even mixed some Spanish in. Our experiment Colored Flames worked out great. Overall, every group did very well and what made it most interesting is that many of the groups presented their experiments in two languages!! Congratulations to all who performed today.

  1. Great pictures Brenda!!! I agree, Adelberto did a wonderful job. Did you tell him? Your group's effort paid off. I especially appreciated the various languages spoken, including Adelberto speaking spanish. What a gift and wide range of talents our students have!!! Gifts and talents I wish I had. Well done!!!
