It’s almost mid-term vacation. Tests are nearly over. You will have a lot of free time in the next few weeks.
Do you like to look at cartoons? Do you like to do things? How about a little science?
Many of you have made bottle rockets for school…how would you like to make a bottle submarine?
You like to see movies. Would you like to build a zoetrophe…wooo! What’s that?
It is what people watched before there were movies!
If you would like to explore and have some fun with science…here’s a website for you to look at.
Go to www.howtoons.com – this is not a link… you will have to put it into the address bar on your browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox– I hope it is Firefox. It is good and safer.)
The singer is Israel Kamakawiwoole. He played the Hawai’ian musical instrument called the Ukelele. The song is Somewhere Over the Rainbow. In the video you will see Israel singing. You will see beautiful pictures of Hawai’i and the celebration of his life after he died. You will see many boats taking his ashes out to the sea.
