Creating something that moves
Our challenge was to make something that would travel one metre using :- card, two feathers, two straws, two large and two small popsicle sticks, two rubber bands and a balloon. We wanted our creations to move with their own power but some of us had to use wind power.
Everyone worked really hard
It isn't easy blowing up a balloon
We had fun making our moving objects
We tried once again but didn't catch any cockroaches.
We set our traps with cat biscuits on Thursday (thank you for the biscuits Elise) and wondered what would happen.
Friday came and we all went to see what had happened overnight. Would we find millions of trapped cockroaches? Actually no!
We did manage to find a dead one on this trap. We are not sure how it managed to die though.
Thanks Mrs Yates for loaning us your room to test our traps.
Thanks for the chocolate Gerald, here is the successful trap maker receiving his prize.
But you can’t stop room 17, we will modify our traps once more and set the traps once again so look out cockroaches.
“We’ll be back”.
We are transforming boxes, bottles and many other items into
“Cockroach Traps”.
Our designs begin to come together.
- We had to think carefully while we were working.
It was interesting creating the cockroach trap from our designs. We found we needed to make some modifications to our original ideas. Here are the finished designs.

Room 17 children love their Activboard, they use it for many different things.
We use our IWB at reading times.
The children take charge when we visit the Brainpop site.
What a terrific time we had at Corban Estate Art Centre.
The children produced some really exciting pieces of clay art.
Just wait until you see what we have in store for you next time!!

From Room 17 Students
The cockroach traps look fantastic. I really like Hannah’s. Can they have food put inside them and tested in the classroom over night-how about a prize for who can catch one. I will give a prize to the first cockroach catcher!
The Art work completed by rm 17 students at the Corban Estate Art Centre and the pictures taken are fantastic. I think your classroom does the best activities ever! Can I come along to the next Art trip?
We are looking forward to hearing about a cockroach trap that collects lots of cockroaches. We need one at our house.
WOW! Your Cockroach catchers looked awesome! What a lot of variation in your designs. I wonder which ones will be the most successful in catching those little animals. I look forward to hearing how many you catch!
Thank you Room 17 for choosing my room to set your traps. I’m looking forward to having the room cleared of coachroaches- I’ve tried catching them, but they’re too fast for me! Work hard on your modifications, we all want success!
Great cockroach traps Room 17. I’m looking forward to hearing about how many cockroaches you catch!! Keep up the hard work.
What a creative class you are. I love the idea of the cockroach traps, we are now using our at home to try and trap a mouse that our cat Truffle has brought in to show us.
Hey very cool photos and love the cockroach traps!
Wow! The Corban Estate Art Centre looks like lots of fun. We are in Perth, West Australia and so love seeing what you are all doing. I must try your cockroach traps and see if they catch the enormous Australian cockroaches!
