Muic Relfection

I had quite enjoyed music last term because it had focused a bit more on instruments and I thought that it was really nice to have more time doing practical stuff. One skill I had learned last term was being able to use the pedal on the piano, I did get to perform the song I had learned was Clair De Lune By Debussy and I was quite happy with the way it had turned out, I will definitely be taking music next term and I wanna try and focus more on the piano and how to incorporate the pedals.

Street Art: mural

I quite enjoy this mural not only because its vibrant and has really good attention to detail but the shading and the lighting is really beautiful and it has this affect of dragging your eyes in and theres so much tiny details that is why i'm so intrigued with this mural.

Group Investigation.

Groups size: 2,3,5 
Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind Manager

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	20
2.	Old J block site	15
3.	Grass hill in the quad	10
4.	Tennis Court gate	3

CONCLUSION:

FLIGHT
Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics.


Definition:


4 forces of flight:

Gravity  

Thrust

Lift

Drag    
 
Paper Plane:

Material:

1. Paper

2. Scissors

Steps:

1. Take your paper and fold it in half

2. Then make a house shape and fold the two ends onto the line

3. And fold it like a normal plane and your done

Findings:

Plane type	Distance	Behavior
Normal	3.9	straight
Ailerons	1m	curve
Paper clip	5	straight

Conclusion: I think the experiment was a good experiment. What I have learned from the experiment is that the mystery prouder was baking soda because all the other ingredients soaked but the reaction of the baking soda was dry, the baking soda dried when we put vinegar on it. and so did the other liquids/

What is that white powder?

Aim: To learn about the makeup of different white powders.

1.  Cornflour

2.  Baking Soda

3.  Salt

4.  Sugar 

Materials

1.  Black piece of Card paper
2.  Cornflour
3.  Magnifying glass
4.  Baking Soda
5.  Water
6.  Londine 
7.  Vinegar

Steps

1.  Fold Card Paper into 4 squares.

2.  Each square had to be named out of Cornflour, Salt, Sugar 

      and Baking Soda.

3.   The teachers had to add a teaspoon of each of the ingredients mentioned above onto the 4 squares
4.   Then we had to investigate which powder is the same as the mystery powder by adding three drops of Vinegar, Water, and Iodine. 
5.   While we are pouring three drops into each square and observing we had to record our finding outs on the chart.
6.  After that, we had to get the mystery powder and add 3 drops of Vinegar, Water and Iodine and compare the results to our finding outs above and see which powder out of Baking soda, Salt, and Sugar is the same as the mystery powder. 

Sugar	Salt	Baking Soda	Cornflour
Appearance	White	White	White	White
Texture	Absorbs it Clumps together	Once the drops have been added it Absorbs it	Once the drops have been added it fizzes up and makes small bubbles for a limited time then it goes dry again.	Once the drops have been added it stick together and it makes beads. It clumps together and made it harder.
Smell	It has a strong smell of Vinegar and a hint of sweetness	It only has a strong smell of Vinegar.	With our investigation, it doesn't really have a smell.	With our investigation, it doesn't really have a smell.
Iodine	Appearance: White Texture: Once the drops have been added it spreads out and it looks like soy sauce. Smell: Smells like nothing.	Appearance: White Texture: It clumps together and becomes hard. Smell: It has a strong smell of Salt	Appearance: White Texture: It clumps together and becomes hard. Smell: It doesn't have a smell.	Appearance: White Texture: It soaks it up Smell: It had a very strong smell of Vinegar.
Water	Appearance: White Texture: Once the drops have been added it just soaks it up Smell: It doesn't have a smell.	Appearance: Once the drops have been added it clumps together. Smell: It has a strong smell of salt	Appearance: White Texture: Once the drops have been added it kind of fizzes but not really, and it becomes hard. Smell: The normal smell of Baking Soda	Appearance: White Texture: Once the drops have been added it clumps together and it becomes hard. Smell: Based on our investigation it doesn't have a smell.
Mystery Powder	Texture: VineguarIt fizzes when the drops were added	Texture: Water: It clumps together and it smells like salt and becomes hard.	Texture: Iodine: It clumps together and it becomes soft and it smells like Vinegar.

                                                                                                                                 I learnt how to observe different powders and how to tell the differences in things, it is also known as Forensic Science. 

Forensic Science is when you are collecting information or evidence

to help solve a case or problem. Forensic Science is mostly used when

solving a criminal case. By doing this they run D.N.A test, Footprints, and fingerprints and a heap of other stuff related to Forensic Science. 

this experiment we had to investigate, observe and match the 4 powders and find out which powder is the same as the mystery powder.

In our experiment with our group and I, we found out that the mystery powder is Baking Soda. We think it's baking Soda because once the three drops of vinegar were added it fizzed up and made some small bubbles just like it did with the Vinegar and Baking Soda that we tested before finding out. 

Mathletics

Mathletics is an online, educational website specializing in the improvement of mathematical literacy and the ability for both Primary and High School students or anyone, mathletics is easiest and the funniest. type of math website anyone can work on, you can even verse other people from around the world, there are even avatars you get to create. and you get points for the tasks you do. even teachers use it some times, you can also get certificates and the more you go on mathelectics the more your tasks will increase so it won't be the same level of maths every time, matheletics is like a privet tutor. 

climate change

To save this planet we need to get our act together and start making changes, there is earth b there is only earth a so we need to clean and appreciate the earth we have now because it is the only one we have. we need to get together and clean our cities forest and beaches, we can make a day committed to cleaning around areas in your country's that really need cleaning.

Making shapes with Triangles.

This Week I have been cutting and shaping triangles in to shapes.

This is a Parallelogram.                     

This is a Trapezium.

And This is a giant Triangle.

That is what we have been doing this week for maths I hope you enjoyed it.
