Mind Over Matter!

Our second project (Mind over Matter) of this semester was another hit! The project was divided into three different keystones which were all about different states of matter and in the end we even made a video game! 

🧱 Keystone 1: Who am I?

The first keystone of our projects objective was to practice using different units and identifying quantitative versus qualitative observations.

 

This first keystone was great preparation for the next keystone!

🧱Keystone 2: Gummy Bear Diffusion

This was my favourite keystone of the project. We were asked to make an experiment (in partners) to answer the driving question: does the composition of the gummy bear change the time or way of diffusion? So me and my partner decided to leave 3 different gummy bears  (sour patch kid gummy, regular Haribo gummy, and low sugar gummy) in 3 separate Luke warm water filled beakers.

 

We recorded our predictions and results, and had a lot of fun eating left o ear gummies!   

🧱Keystone 3: Video game!

After about 3 weeks of hard work, we made a video game to show what we have learned throughout this project. This was the toughest keystone for me. To make our video games we were required to CODE… I have never been the best at coding so I definitely struggled in the beginning. Luckily I pushed through and found a helpful tutorial to help guide me. In the end I made a true or false video game based on everything we have learned during this project, and now I know how to code!
