The Disappearing Stamp

My Science Project is The Disappearing Stamp. All you need is a stamp, (any kind will do) a cup, and a piece of paper. You put the stamp on a hard surface (such as a table) and then get your cup and fill it with water. Take a moment to look and see at what angles you can see the stamp. What will happen next will surely amaze you. When you put the piece of hard paper on top of the cup of water it makes it impossible to see anything, it’s quite lonely in there. You can’t see the stamp because the only reason you could see it before was because of light, right? Well that piece of paper blocks the light from shining down on the stamp. So when you turn on the light the whole room kind of lights up and when you turn the lights off you can’t see anything. It’s kind of the same thing when you put on the paper you can’t see the stamp, when you take it off you can see it. My Science Experiment was amazing right. I thought so. Well, that about does it for my report.

Currier Musem of Art


Two of the fourth grade classes went to the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester. Our guide’s name was Pam. It was a huge building. When we got inside the building I was amazed with what I saw. It was awesome. My chaperones were Mrs. McNelly and Mrs. Hastings. Our class went on the fieldtrip and Mrs. Bowden Gerard’s class went. We walked around most of the museum; there were lots of paintings and sculptures. There was a picture drawn by a famous artist named Pablo Picasso called: A Woman Seated In A Chair. I liked a cool bench like thing called: True Love’s Blue. There were two humans connected. The man that made the sculpture made the two humans him and his wife. There was a piece of wood between them. There was also a sculpture of Daniel Webster that was made of Bronze. It was pretty cool. I missed a little bit of the stuff Pam was showing us because I had to help my friend who’s in a wheelchair get around. We had to take the elevators when our group went into a different floor or part of the museum. There was a lot more cool stuff that we got to check out along the way.
