Forces Field Trip

Yesterday, we went to the cegep Garneau for a demonstration on forces. We learned about gravity, static electricity, weight/scales, air pressure and physical strength etc... He did some cool smaller demonstraions, too. One of the coolest ones was when he used a smoke machine and put the smoke into a drumlike container. He tapped the bottom and rings of smoke came out of the top. A funny thing he did was when he put leaf blower by his mouth and his cheeks inflated. Also with a big water container, he used a lighter and put it inside, and it went across the room!
It was a fun field trip!
