Draper Elementary Media Center

In March we did space experiments that went along with theme for the year. We used the book
A True Book Space Experiments by Salvatore Tocci. The first experiment was hitting the target. The students sat on a spinning chair and tried to hit a small bucket with a paper ball. The second experiment was testing reaction time. The students used a yard stick and tried to catch it before it hit the floor. If you could grab the yard stick at six inches you would be a good astronaut.


The third experiment measuring body changes. Students measure there calf with a string and then they lay on the floor with there legs on the wall and stay that way for three minutes and then they remeasure there calf to see if there calf was the same size.

The students had alot of fun with the experiments.
