Simple                                 Compound   

LEAVES

Simple                                 Compound   

Activity: Choose a leaf and do a leaf rubbing. Once you have done the rubbing, cut it out and glue it on the tree.

Science (Dirty Water Experiment)

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1.  Water filterer
2.  Swimming pool 
3.  Bath tub full of water
4. Sink full of water

Materials

1. One recyclable plastic bottle 

2. Pebbles

3. Sand

4. Filter paper

5. Dirty water

6. Plastic cup

7. Scissors

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Cut the bottle into half.

Step 2

Put the top half upside down then place it inside the lower half.

STEP 3

Add layers of sand and pebbles.

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water.

STEP 5

Pour dirty water into your filterer.

Findings

Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute. 

Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and 'How clear the water is'.

Minutes                          1.                         2.                   3.                    4.                       5.

Drops per minute:         6                          5                    3                      5                        6

Water colour: Yellow

Conclusion:

Now we know that if dirty water comes through pebbles, sand and filter paper it becomes clear and changes it's colour as well. Now we know the steps and how much minute per drops it can do. You can try this out and see what will your dirty water changes into.

Science (Flight)

FLIGHT

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics. 

• In your groups of 3 you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behavior.
• In groups of 3 you will make a water rocket and record its distance and behavior. 

Definition:The action or process of flying through the air.

4 forces of flight:

1.   Gravity
2.    Thrust
3.   Drag
4.   Lift

Paper Plane:

Material:

1.One Paper
2.One Paper clip
3. One Ruler
4.One Scissor

Steps:

1. Fold the paper in half vertically.
2. Unfold the paper and fold each of the top corners into the center line.
3. Fold the top edges into the center line.
4. Fold the plane in half toward you.
5. Fold the wings down, matching the top edges up with the bottom edge of the body.
6. Finish

Findings:

Plane Type	Distance	Behavior
Normal	2.7 Meters	Straight line
Ailerons	3.0 Meters	Curved
Paper clip	3.8 Meters	Straight line

Conclusion:
Now we know all the martial , steps, the forces of flight and how much meters and Distance our paper plane can go. Try them outside and you will probably see them in better action, keep practicing so you will be able to make  your paper plane go to a bigger distance or fly higher.

Conclusion 2:
According to the plane type the smallest distance was the Normal type and flew in a straight line. The Aileron type had a distance of 3.0 Meters and flew curved and the last type was the paper clip type that has the highest distance of 3.8 Meters and also flew a straight line.

Aim: To see which chemical 
mix creates the most gas.

Hypothesis: (What do I think will happen)


Materials:

1.  Three Balloon 
2.  Three plastic recycling bottle
3.  Sugar
4.  Active yeast
5.  Funal
6.  Baking soda
7. Vinegar
8. Salt

Steps:

1.  Grab your Funal and place it inide your first bottle. then put the 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar and water in your bottle. 
2.  The second bottle you need to place 3 tsp salt, 1/2 and water in your second balloon.
3.  The last balloon is you have to place 3 tsp baking soda, 2/1 cup vinegar and water. 
4. Then you just need to wait for a couple of minutes or for and hour.

My images:

Findings:Salt may seem simple, but since it can be used in more ways than the well known, its fascinating facts and uses make it the world's most amazing mineral. ... Salt is also involved in the process by which your body regulates its water content (fluid balance). 

Yeast is tiny: Just one gram holds about 25 billion cells. That amount of fungi can churn out a significant amount of carbon dioxide, provided it has the simple sugars ituses as food.  


It is even correct to say baking powder is one ingredient used to make baking powder. Baking soda contains sodium bicarbonate (a base) which can react with acids in vinegar, yogurt, and buttermilk to produce carbon dioxide.

Conclusion:

So I founded out that the Balloon with 3 tsp baking soda 1/2 cup and vinegar has the most largest gas
that can blow a balloon much more faster although the bubbles of it its smaller than the other gas, the other balloon with 3 tsp salt, 1/2 cup soda has medium gas but almost nearly as big as the smallest gas and the bubbles are also medium and the last balloon with 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar has the most smallest gas than the others but has the largest bubbles. 

	Balloon 1 ( 3 tsp baking soda, ½ cup vinegar)	Balloon 2 ( 3 tsp salt, ½ cup soda)	Balloon 3 ( 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar )
Balloon Size (cm)	Large	Medium	Small
Bubbles	Small	Medium	Large

C.I.P./Tane Mahuta

Hello followers, students and teachers
Last week C.I.P./Tane Mahuta was removing some of the rubbish we had near our garden so we can use it for our spare garden, today C.I.P. is going to be researching or thinking of some 
seeds that are good in winter at our spare old dirty garden we've 
just cleaned . I've chose carrots, lettuce, onions and peas.
                      
                        This is the picture of us collecting rubbish.

Today on Wednesday, sixth of March, 2019 we were picking up 
some rubbish and sticks on our old yard to have more space so we 
can use it as another garden for our school.  We had to wear
gloves at first so our hands don't get dirty, once we were done 
everything was spotless, it had no rubbish or sticks, we also
made a picture of us as we were done and after that we then 
were allowed to find some rare insects around the dirt.

Please give me some feedback if there was something a had to change. :) Thank you
