We visited the whale exhibit loaned to Telus Spark by the Maori people of New Zealand. In the exhibit, we enjoyed participating in a whale backpack adventure. Each group had a backpack and in their pack, they had materials and some pamphlets, models, photos and measuring scales. We answered the questions written on the pamphlets and completed the activities described. For example, we built phytoplankton models from buttons, pompoms, pipecleaners and toothpicks. Some of us tested our models in the water to see if they would float.
We also participated in a presentation in the theatre called Good Vibrations. We like watching a sound wave of fire. We also enjoyed the part where the presenter called up a volunteer from the other school to show how you can make wine glasses sing at a low, medium and high pitch. We also saw a giant oscilloscope on the big screen. Our visit to Telus Spark inspired us to investigate these topics:
