The Lemonade Maker


by Ranae, Chelsey, Bryanna

DISADVANTAGES


Some disadvantages of the Lemonade Maker are that it is a little messy. It is messy because when the bottle tips over the water might spill on the floor. Another disadvantage is that it is complicated to set up. It is hard to set up because you have to tape the blocks to the table and make sure that the ball hits right. The last disadvantage is that like all experiments it might not go right.
All in all that is the disadvantages of the Lemonade Maker.


Description


The Lemonade Maker is a weird invention. It needs a placed on the floor. At the very edge of the table the pitcher is placed so that when the water bottle tips over the water pours over the edge like a water fall in to the pitcher. That is the description of the Lemonade Maker.


Materials

The materials in our science project are cups, a pitcher, lemonade, sugar, a table, a ball, and wooden blocks. We used cups to drink the lemonade. Next we need the sugar and water to make the lemonade. Also, we had a table to put all of the stuff and we had a water bottle to hold the water and we had wooden blocks to make sure the water bottle didn’t move. Last, we had the pitcher to catch the water and the ball to knock the bottle down. Those are our materials for our group.

Why You should buy:

Well, I would say that my project is very good, so if I were someone else I would buy it. So, you should buy it too! You should buy it because it makes good lemonade and it works good for kids for science reports. All in all, that is why you should buy the lemonade maker.

The Light Switch Turner Offer

By James F.

The Light Switch Turner Offer:
MATERIALS=Five dominos, small ramp, LEGO tower, small basket, marbles, and about a foot of sting.
HOW IT WORKS= This project starts working just by the tip of a domino. The dominos push a gate open so that the marble can roll down the ramp and knock down the tower base. The basket full of marbles falls pulling the sting that is attached to the switch therefore turning off the light.
COST=I picked the reasonable price of $5.00.
HOW I CAME UP WITH IT= I came up with this idea one night when I was laying in bed and forgot to turn off the light. I wish I didn’t to get out of bed to turn it off.
BENEFITS= The benefits of this project is that you don’t have to go far to turn off the light.

 

The Book Opener



by Jon D.

Results
It opens a book
What it looks like
It looks like a huge container with strings in it and a magnet.
It has a tiny book in it
Materials
A plastic container, a magnet, tough string, dowel rods, and a paperclip, six spools, a bead that has a hole in the middle,
And a tiny book.
What I learned
I learned that it is easier to open a book by hand.
How it works

You pull the string at the top then slowly lower it and pull it up again.


Benefits, you don’t have to get paper cuts and get the book pages dirty.
Also it takes a little strength so you could get some muscles.
You won't ever lose your page.


What I learned, I learned that it is more fun than regularly turning the page.
It is cooler to watch than the normal way.
It is a lot of fun making it.

How I made it,
I bought a long dowel and cut it into six equal peaces,
then I got a cat food container and cut the front out, cut three holes on one side and three holes on the other side,
Then I put the six dowel rod pieces in each hole. Then I put spools on the dowel rods then I wound the string around the spools and I made it to where the string ended up in the front and tied the magnet to the end of the string. Then I taped the paperclip to the rim of the tiny book, and the other end of the string I poked a hole through the top of the container and tied the bead to the end of the string.

How to make a Mouse Trap Snap



By Jaime, Amanda, and Amber
This experiment makes a mouse trap snap, and is interesting and fun.
Supplies needed to make this invention: A funnel, a marble that is about the size of a tip of the pinkie that belongs to a 10 or 11 year old child, and a mouse trap that you can easily set.
How does it work? Drop a marble down the funnel, it will go down the tube, hit the mousetrap snap. If a mouse steps on the string attached to the marble, it will set the mousetrap off, catching the mouse.
What we learned: Well, we learned not to put our hand in the mouse trap. We also learned not to pick a group and not follow along with it.
Why you should buy it: It will help you keep from getting out of bed to catch the mouse in the middle of the night. Well sometimes!!!
