The pictures attached are experiment tools that 4th graders created to check how the heat transfers. They used sensor boards, thermistors and scratch to make the tools in science class. I worked with the students and their teacher for 25-hours Scratch course in computer class, and some students chose Scratch to make the tools while other students chose candles etc.  (to be continued)

We started a project on six primary schools with programming languages, including Scratch, to challenge gifted children. Because of the link to Science and Technology, I am very interested in your Scratch course.

What a great idea!  I'd love to hear more about the specifics of the experiment.
