Science Topic 8 Acids and Bases

 Today we went to Tamaki College to learn science. First of all we labeled each item we will be testing on a well plate. Then measure about 4 or 5 drops of each substances into the well plate and mark it for that item. Next we took 10 difference strips of litmus paper, so that we can test at least nine substances. Then we predicted  are result before we tested are experiment, to see what we think what the litmus paper colour will change into. After that we took one small piece of red and blue litmus paper, dipped it into one of the substances to be tested. As we dip it in one of the substance, we wrote down what colour the litmus paper changed. Finally we finished testing, we wrote down all of the results and packed and went back to school. What I learned that if you put red litmus paper in a base substances it will turn blue and if you dip blue in a acid substances it will turn red. I had lots of fun learning about acids and bases and thanks to Mrs Sharma for teaching us about acids and bases.

  

 

Science Topic 7 Osmosis and Transpiration

Today for science we learnt about osmosis and transpiration. At first we started with Mrs Sharma was teaching us about what was osmosis and transpiration, then we were watching a video about what happens if you put a celery inside salt water and the outcome is the celery starts to die. Then we watched another video about what happens if we put celery in food colouring and that the experiment are class was about to do. 

The supplies we needed was: 

-Celery

- Water

- Food Colouring

- Cups

- Scissors

When we got are supplies we needed to do theses steps:

- 200 mls of water in a conical flask - Add 10 drops of red food coloring into water - Cut the bottom of the celery - Put celery into water - Stir the water

- Put bag over the celery and tie it so no oxygen can get into the celery - Wait at least 30 minutes before moving the celery

When we did all of that we needed to wait so we learnt more about osmosis and transpiration. After that we untied the bag and took the celery out, it wasn't red that much but we cutted it open then we saw the xylem but I didn't have that much red in mine but it was ok because some of the students had food colouring inside of the xylem and that was really cool. I had lots of fun doing this and thank you to Mrs Sharma for teaching us about osmosis and transpiration.

Cybersmart Challenge 16 Poster

 Today I did cybersmart challenge 16. The challenge was easy because, I made a poster before and I remembered what to do, and I managed to finish the poster . I was a little bit of tired to do my work, because I was running around, but I pushed myself to do my work and I'm so glad I did my poster because it was fun and I hope you guys like it.

 

CyberSmart Challenge 15 Vlog Post

 Today I did cybersmart challenge 15. Very sorry I couldn't record my voice because my mic wasn't working and I'm very sorry for that. The challenge was sort of hard at first, because I couldn't find my all about me, but I managed to find it and also managed to finish the cybersmart challenge. Looking at my old post I realised that I didn't improve much, but I did edit some of the parts that I was not right. I really enjoyed this challenge and I will try and improve my writing next time. 

Te Oro Matariki

 Today room 6 and room 10 went to Te Oro to learn about Matariki. Both of are class walked down to Te Oro at Glen Innes. When we got at Te Oro we were introduced by a lovely lady that told us to take are shoes off before we walked in the whare. When we took are shoes we went inside the whare and sat down on the floor, we were introduced by a teacher called Mr Logan and he was really fun. Then they put us in 3 groups and I was in the second group and it was the best group. We were learning about how to make a whetu (stars) with harakeke (flax). It was hard making a whetu with the flax but I managed to finish it. Then all are groups got up at different time and said what we learnt. At the end we got in a circle and started to sing a maori song before we leave and it was fun singing with all the teachers and students. I had lots of fun going to Te Oro and thank you to Mr Logan for having room 6 and room 10 at Te Oro.

Spelling Test

 On Monday, some students and I took a stage eight spelling test. It was really hard spelling the words because I was getting confused but I managed to finish it. My result for my spelling test was 100%, I was really happy about my test result and that really hyped me up. I really enjoyed the test and I was really happy with my result. 

 

E-asttle Math Test

 On Monday my class and I did a math strand test. It was hard at first but I kept on trying and trying, until I finished my test. On my test I achieved a 5B, and I'm really happy with my result and for my next math strand test, I'll try and achieve a 5A. For me to achieve my goal is to listen more at math class and try harder in math class. I really enjoyed the test and I'm really happy with my result.
