On a Monday Morning we have been doing a
fun science project called STEAM with Mrs V. So far we have done a
painting with conductive paint; we also did an experiment with a circuit board
called Ototo. An Ototo board is used like a mini keyboard. You use it by
placing your fingers on holes. To do our experiment we connected the Ototo
board to the conductive painting using crocodile clips, this worked by touching
the conductive painting. We noticed when we touched the painting it made a
sound. After we had experimented with this we attached some fruit to the
crocodile clips and tested it. We noticed things that contained water conducted
electricity. This made pears and apples more conductive then carrots and
potatoes. Next week we will be learning how to make a circuit with LED lights.
