LO:understand what the senses and prepare for /carry out an experiment
Aim: our aim is to try and past the challenge.
- Five pennies
- Small paper cup or rinsed-out yogurt cup
- A table where you and a partner can sit.
- Put a cup in front of your partner. It should be about 2 feet away from him or her.
- Ask your partner to close one eye.
- Hold one of the pennies in the air about 18 inches above the table. Move it around slowly.
- Tell your partner that you'll drop the penny whenever he or she says, "Drop it!" The idea is for your partner — with one eye closed — to judge when the penny is over the cup so the penny will drop into the cup.
- Give your partner five tries with one eye closed, then five tries with both eyes open. Which way worked best?
don't put the penny in your mouth
don't swallow the penny
don't throw the penny
don't poke someones eyes when they are closing one
Hey Amaka,
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you have laid out your post. I also like the way you added a description to each picture.
This looks very enjoyable, I would love to do this with my class. This also reminds me of when my class did the spaghetti and marshmallow tower challenge in Term 1.
Maybe next time you could add a video to show how the challenge works. And add what you liked most about it.
Was this challenge successful?

Kia Ora Amaka, I think that the way you explained things was awesome. It was really easy for me to understand, especially the part where your partner had to close one eye and drop the penny.
ReplyDeleteNormally I would write something, say maybe explaining how to play a game and in my mind it would make sense but when I read the piece of writing out loud it didn’t make any sense. So I think that you have a talent where you can explain things very well. I also think that this blog post was just overall something good to post about.
I think that next time to make your post a tiny bit better you could have said if this went well or if next time you tried you would change the way you did something. Another thing that I noticed was at the end you left a huge gap of white, to make it that tiny bit better you could maybe either delete that white strip or add something else to it. And I also think that maybe you could have a hook at the start to make the reader want to read everything because sometimes people don’t comment because the hook was boring.
Did you accomplish this challenge? And did you or your friends have to try again?
Kind Regards
