Science Expo Blog!

For this years science expo we had to do an experiment based on food science or environmental science.I chose food science and I did Dancing Noodles and Dancing Corn.I decided to do this experiment because it is something nice to watch and it's easy and simple to do if someone wanted to try to do this experiment.I saw a few kids do this experiment last year,so I decided to also do it.I also found this experiment on You tube.I worked alone for this experiment,it's really nice working alone because you can do everything by your self and you don't need to stress if you do it with a friend.It's also a bit challenging to get to each other's houses and do the experiment.At first when I practiced my experiment at home it didn't work.But my mom realized what I did wrong,so I tried again and the noodles and corn danced even better than I thought it would.They both danced for a really long time.The noodles danced for 2 minutes and 45 seconds and the corn danced for 5 minutes and 02 seconds.I was a bit stressed about the fact that the noodles didn't dance at first,but when I tried again it went really well.I enjoyed making my poster and making it beautiful for the science expo.Unfortunately I wasn't there on the scienc expo day because I was sick and didn't get the chance to do my experiment.Usually on my science expo day I feel confident but also a bit nervous if I mess up anything or forget my information.Otherwise my experiment worked really well at home and I enjoyed it.
If you would like to do this experiment at home you will need:

*White spirit vinegar
*Bicarbonate of soda
*Cooked noodles
*Corn
*water
*food coloring
* A measuring
*Table spoon
*2 Large glasses

Method:

1)Measure and add to cups of water to your glass.
2)Then add two cups of vinegar to your water.
3)Add 3-4 drops of food colouring to your water,mix the water after adding food coloring so that it spreads around in the glass.
4)Add cooked noodles to one glass and corn to the other.
4)Lastly add 1 table spoon of bicarbonate of soda to your glasses.
5)See what happens next.

Thank you for reading and I hope you will enjoy making this experiment!

Star-Girl

Hello everybody!We have been doing a stop-motion project during tech/art and we had to create a set and create a new superhero or villain.I had to answer a few questions about my stop-motion/superhero.

• The stop-motion project is about having, but also learning about new things and creating things in your image and to share ideas with your partner.
• I created my character because i think it was a nice idea to learn new things and it was really cool because my superhero could shoot stars out of her hands.
• Yes,I would change a few things about stop-motion project because i felt like i would be able to do a bit more and make it a bit neater.
• The highlight of my project is about creating new things and to learn how to work nicely together with a friend and to share each others ideas.
• I was a bit frustrated when my superhero wouldn't stand and always fall over.I was only a bit frustrated when we were recording because if my partner and I would take some pictures of our set then the next time we had tech/art we couldn't get the angles write and it took quite a long time.I was also frustrated when I had to restart 3 times because in the first one the brick was in the background and the second time we took to many pics of one thing so it was moving really slowly and it didn't move smoothly.

Grade 6 Camp

My Grade 6 Camp which was on the 9 March.

I wentto Rocklands Camp site in Grade 3.But now it was my second time going there.When I got there I remembered all the fun things I did and being with my group completing activities.At first I think the bus drive was very very very loooong.But it was nice cause I was sitting next to a friend that could keep me some company.All the groups did lots of fun activities.My favorite activity was when we had to swing over a pond with mud and we had to try not to fall off.But before we could swing we had to try and get the rope.WHICH WAS VERY TRICKY!I was going to jump to get the rope but I did not want to fall in the mud.So...Jayden wanted to do it and he finally jumped and landed in the pond with mud.It was FUNNY and he even was laughing.Then I was the first person to swing across the pond with mud.And when I did I slipped of the rope but caught it again so I was very lucky otherwise .......I would be all dirty and stinky.

I loved spending time with my friends and playing with them.There also were a few things that was very challenging for me.

1)Working with my group well.

2)Listening to each other's ideas

3)I was sometimes annoyed with a few members in my group but I got over it and carried on.

After I had so much fun on camp ,the bus came to fetch all the kids to bring back to school.I was sitting next to Tayla on the way back.It was so much fun ,Tayla gave me a bubble gum which was so strong and the whole bus could smell it.THEY COULD!

If you would like to know more about my camp how about google it.

My Goals For 2016
why it is important to set goals?
It is important to set goals for yourself because then you are challenging yourself to do something that you will be proud of your self.

WHAT IS A GOAL?
A goal is something that you set for yourself for the end of the year or something that you really want to work on and achieve.

WHAT IS A SMART GOAL?
A smart goal is something that is really important for you to achieve,that you are really desperate for.

WHAT IS A SILLY GOAL?
A silly goal is something like expecting yourself to eat 1000 burgers in 2 minutes.

MY 2 GOALS THAT I HAVE?
1)Not to get DT this year.
2)To finish all my homework from school......
