UNH Stembassadors - Friday

The UNH Stembassadors came on Friday to work with the fourth and fifth graders in our classrooms.  Our challenge was to work with teams to create a model of an amusement ride similar to the Tower of Terror.  The ride had to drop down fast and still be safe so we didn't lose any passengers.  Here is a few pictures of the activity.  I think I missed a few groups, but everyone had a great time.

Erosion Prevention Experiment

We tested our plans of ways we thought we could prevent erosion from happening.  There were barriers built, tubes used, and rocks to break the water up.  All the groups did great thinking.  We had many ideas work well and we had a few floods that eventually broke down barriers.
