WESD Gifted Summer School has wrapped up week 4! We walked on paper cups and raw eggs. We investigated car crashes and explored some Titanic myths. We tested the strength of a single strand of hair. We tried jumping standing in place and with a running start. We explored our fingerprints and attempted to pull apart two books laced together. But, mostly we had a lot of fun!

Week 3 of Mythbusters Gifted Summer School was a blast. Myths we tackled: Is the “impossible” Jenga move possible? Can your brain trick you? Do your eyes always tell the truth? Can you taste with your nose plugged? Is the “tongue map” real? Can a postage stamp cause a helicopter to crash?

Week 2 of summer school completed! Some myths we tackled: A tablecloth can be pulled off a set table without disturbing the plates or food. It is impossible to walk in a straight line blindfolded. Most people cannot identify the back of their own hand. Toast always falls butter side down. It is possible to hang onto a wall indefinitely.

Week 1 of Gifted Summer School. We explored many myths and busted a few! Some myths we tackled: It is impossible to drink from a 3 ft. straw. A piece of paper cannot be folded more than 7 times. Poprocks and soda will make your stomach explode. It is impossible to eat 6 saltine crackers in 1 minute. A bag of water can be punctured with a stick and not leak.
