We are winners!

This week we were excited to receive a package in the mail from HP. A few weeks ago we entered their Rural Schools Techonology competition and this week they sent us a prize of an HP Action Cam! We are thrilled to have a brand new camera that can film in so many cool ways...it's even waterproof and comes with a watch that controls the camera!
We are all really looking forward to using our Action Cam - our films will be so much more exciting!
Thanks HP!

Measuring Distance

Using two Hot Wheels cars and some pieces of wood we constructed ramps and measured the distance that the cars would travel...we found that is wasn't necessarily the steepest ramp that would send the cars the furthest or the smoothest surface! The furthest a car travelled was 3.53m!
