Outstanding

 Kia ora readers!

For the past few weeks BN and AL have been working together on an outstanding project, we firstly worked on our parihaka thing and moved on to the Kate Sheppard. For the Kate Sheppard one we had to read an article and in the end it gave us some questions and some of them included summary questions. 

We had to work hard for this one since I think this one required the most work to do, I was sick for two days which means  I didn't get to do lots for this one and I had to catch up by a lot. But I was very proud of the amount of work I have done. 

The main point of this project is to understand and listen for those people who have done amazing things that have changed the community and to learn the kindness.  And Kate Sheppard is one of them, and she protested New Zealand into convincing that women had the right to vote and not just men. And almost 32,000 men and women signed her petition and agreed to her.  

Also New Zealand was the first country to allow women to vote but back then no other country were able to vote, but if Kate Sheppard never protested, women would still not be able to vote.

The Pavlova

 Kia Ora Readers!

This is my third one for the inventions, the last two I did was the EasiYo, Instant Coffee, and my third one The Pavlova, I did the same exact thing, like putting it in the same slides. But since this is the last term I had to finish this off quicker and faster and make sure I have all designs ready, what I found quite fun was making my own pavlova and using my culture flag as my inspiration. 

Drama

 Kia Ora Readers!

This term in drama we have been working on really fun things, and the things we did in drama were, mask making, Script play, hitch hiker. And some extra things we did was warm ups, sometimes story telling. The thing I enjoyed the most this term in drama is the hitch hiker because we got to practise, and rehearse on stage. But the thing we have been working on the most has probably been the bullies script play, because we had a page of script to practise. The thing that I didn't really like was the mask making because, I wasn't able to finish my mask because we didn't have enough time to finish it and I think the ending product looked a bit messy. 

Inventions

 Kia Ora Readers!

For the past 2 weeks we have been doing inventions, this is my second slide of my choices. If you check out what I have been up to at my blog you'll see that the first one of the choices I chose was "Instant Coffee" for my second one I chose EasiYo, it is about a Scientist that invented it to make easier for people to make yogurt easier and healthier. I feel like this one was a bit more easy than the other one because the other one included lots of reading to find out this and that. But the same time, for this one it was also a bit hard because we had to create a package design of how our yogurts will look like. 

Gummy Bear Osmosis

Kia Ora Readers!

Aim:

I want to find out what happens to gummy bears when we put them into different solutions.  

Prediction

I predict that they are gonna grow if you put them into the water for quite a long time. 

Method

Equipment:

• 4x gummy bear of the same colour 
• 2x Petri dishes
• Paper Towels
• Marker pen
• Water
• Sugar Water
• Salt water 
• Electronic balance 
• Beaker
  
• Measuring Cylinder 
• Safety Goggles 

Instructions:

1. Get Your equipment
2. put on your safety glasses
3. Using the marker, write the name of the condition on the petri dish. DRY, WATER, SALT WATER, SUGAR WATER. 
4. Weigh the gummy bears and write the weight on the petri dish.
5. Measure 4ml of the solution and pour it into the petri dish 

Results: 

This is before the experiment:

Results after 4 days:

	Dry	Water	Salt Water	Sugar Water
Initial Weight of Gummy bear	5.44	5.56	5.46	5.57
Final Weight of Gummy bear	5.19	4.98	5.14	6.63
Weight Difference
Initial Volume		40mL	40mL	40mL
Final Volume		3mL	4mL	5mL
Water Loss		37	36	35

What is Osmosis?

1. Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.

Inventions

 Kia Ora Readers!

For the past few days we have been looking into inventions we had so many options for who invented this and that, this is my first one, but for this one I chose Instant coffee, in the article/Story it had all the questions in there, and some activities we could do. But some the first question I didn't really understand so I had to ask the teacher, so I found that part challenging because I didn't know. But the last activity was also pretty hard because we had to create an idea for people to believe that David Strang really created the instant coffee. 

Skittles Colour Experiment - Science

 Kia Ora Readers! 

Aim:

I want to find out what happens when I put Skittles into water. 

Method:

Equipment 

• Skittles 
• Petri Dish
• Warm water 
• Beaker 
• White background/surface

Instructions:

    1.Get equipment

    2.Put 8 Skittles in the petri dish.

    3.Spread the Skittles out evenly on the petri dish.

    4.Gently pour warm water in the middle of the petri dish.

    5. Don't overflow the petri dish. 

    6. Observe and record on what happens.

Prediction:

I think I will see, colours spread out, and it will all be colourful and the Skittles will lose colour like it was bleached.

From this:

To This:

My thoughts were correct.

I saw the colours ran into each other, and spread out like it was a rainbow. 

Discussion:

1. The colours dissolved. Dissolve means when a solid mixes into a liquid creating a solution.
2. The colour spread in the water. The colours were concentrated and diffused (Moved) to area there was no colour. 
3. The colours did not mix. The colours had different solubilities
