Kia Ora/Hello,
Today for our first Nanogirl activity for the week, we had to make a super seesaw! It was really fun because its simple to make but I struggled tying it together because I think my string may of been quite long! I enjoyed this activity because it was fun and a great source of entertainment and anyone can make it at home or anywhere they are! My one did not unfortunately work. It might've not worked because instead of a toilet paper roll I used some paper but I still enjoyed making it, What can you do next time if your one doesn't work out as well? I think . . . My tip would be: Get smaller string, try and use a toilet paper roll (because it doesn't get squashed like the paper!).
What you need to make a "Super Seesaw!":
1. A small ball/Foil paper,
2. A wooden spoon or a spoon with a long handle,
3. String, Yarn, Shoelace (or anything specifically like the ones I listed!)
4. Toilet paper roll (without the tissue, of course!)
How to make your Super Seesaw!
Firstly, you need to get your ball ready, I in that case made a ball out of foil because they all work the same! Secondly, get your wooden spoon and your cardboard toilet paper roll and put your spoon on top of it and let one end of the spoon stay on the ground while the other is sticking up, Thirdly, get your string and tie them together so that it sticks! Lastly, put your ball on the side of the spoon that is on the ground and when your ready for it send your ball flying, pull the side of the spoon down that was stick up and away gopes your ball! Here is my google drawing:

How exciting that we are onto the final week of the SLJ and our final NanoGirl task. I think you introduced and explained the activity well, mentioned what you enjoyed and found difficult and included instructions on what you need and how to make our own.
I think your catapult looks awesome and it is unfortunate that it did not work but the fact that you gave it a go is what counts!
Keep up the great work and I hope to see more of your posts over the summer.

Kia Ora Zana,
DeleteThank you for commenting.
It sure is exciting that this was the last Nanogirl activity and it was very, very fun as well. It was very unfortunate that it didn't work but I still enjoyed every single bit of making it.
Have you made something similar before?
