Gravity Defying Bucket and Cup Trick

Today for summer learning journey Nanogirl task I made a gravity defying bucket and did a cup trick that meant I could turn the cup over and the water didn't escape!

I decided to make and edit a video on how to make the bucket. I really enjoyed making the first video about Tolaga bay, I decided to try editing another video using Movavi.
Both tasks were nice and simple to follow. My favourite of the two was the cup flip trick. I thought I was going to make a mess all over the table! The cup and card trick is pretty cool! I wanted to know why it worked. It's to do with air pressure! With the card there is no air being pushed into the water so the water stays in the cup upside down! pretty cool huh! I have sort of discovered the bucket trick before by accident once when I spun my drink bottle in a circle and no water came out.

I'm getting better at editing my videos and it was easier to work out what to do. I didn't even need my Mum to guide me this time! I had to split the audio to the video lots of times to make the volume higher when it was going into time lapses and lower when I was talking so you could still hear me over the music. Next time if I was do do this task again I would make the string slightly shorter because I had to have it wrapped around my hand lots of times because I had made it too long. I would also make sure I was doing a task when my little brother wasn't around. He tried to grab the scissors! 

Here are my videos.

   

   

Gravity

We are learning about gravity. I took some videos of the gravity working with Boinks and Dropper Poppers.
I enjoyed playing with the boinks and dropper poppers.
I found it easy to write my writing.
I found it tricky to use line breaks.
Next time I will use more line breaks.
My digital learning object shows that I can copy and paste my work onto my blog.
Here is my writing and videos.

Gravity

If you throw a ball into the air what will it do? It will fall down right?  But why doesn't it not float into space?

Gravity
The reason for this is a force called gravity. Gravity is a force that keeps us on the ground. Gravity is like super glue and holds us down.

Force
A force is a push or a pull. Gravity is a force that pulls us down so we don't float into space.

Boinks
Boinks are a flexible spring-action toy. If you push down a boink, a force will be created. When you let go it will fly up then gravity will pull the boink down.

Dropper popper
A dropper popper is a toy that looks like a dome. If you invert drop the dome with a ping pong ball, the ping pong ball will spring into the air and then gravity will pull it down.

Conclusion
No matter where you throw the ball, it's going down! The effect is a person or a thing that acts in the way that some specific thing happened as a result. Gravity is the cause and effect of everything coming down. Eventually everything is coming down.
