Science Fair

 We are learning how to conduct proper science experiments and then record what we did and what we noticed. We could investigate any area of science we wanted

I chose to do density

Here is my work about density

Science Experiment Writing

 In Week 8,  Miss Fletcher gave us a science lesson about Matariki.

We had to write some notes about it.  Here is my work about stars.

DNA Monster

For science this week we Made DNA monsters. Hear is mine

Crystal science

This week we did science with Miss Fletcher and we are making  crystals using sugar and hot water.

Science fair

Yesterday we had our school science fair. My science investigation was about Lego bridges.

Balloon Hovercraft

B E G I N N I N G	TITLE	Balloon Hovercraft
	QUESTION	How does a hovercraft hover?
	HYPOTHESIS	I predict that it’s going to move.

M I D D L E	EQUIPMENT  AND MATERIALS:	You need a dvd, bottle cap and a balloon.
	PROCEDURE:	Step 1: Using a hot glue gun,glue the bottle cap over the cd hole. Step 2: Blow up a balloon. When it is fully inflated twist the end over.  The end of the bottle cap. Step 3: Stretch the balloon over the end of the bottle cap. Step 4: Open up the cap and place the cd on the surface. Step 5: Untwist balloon and let go.
	OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:	It hoved across on the table like a lawnmower.

E N D

CONCLUSION:

The air from the balloon creates a cushion of moving air between the disc and the CD and reduced the friction so the disc moved freely across the table.

Bridge Building

We have been learning about forces and how they help shape the sort of bridges that we build.  

We learned that there are three main types of bridge design; beam, truss and suspension.  Using this knowledge we designed and built our own bridges.

Miss Fletcher set the challenge that our bridges had to be 30 cm long and strong enough to hold an object.

In my group there were Harry, Veon, Kyle and me.  We used ice cream sticks, cardboard, egg boxes to build our bridge.

Here is a photo of our truss bridge.  What I like best about our bridge is  that it is an awesome bridge.

Moon Rover Landing

For science we made a Moon rover lander using only a paper cup, paper, cellotape and straws.  We were given the task of making our Moon rover land softly onto our Moon landscape so that our marsh-mellow astronauts did not fly out.

What I like best about my Moon rover is its landing because it landed very well.

What I needed to modify on my Moon lander rover was straws & paper cup & paper and a marsh-mellow.

One thing I learned about landing on the Moon was that it was like real life.

Here is a video/picture of my Moon rover landing on our school’s Moon surface.  I hope you like it!

Bug Hotel

WE made a Bug Hotel. For our bug hotel we put bamboo, hay and newspaper in the bug hotel which is made in a pallet. We made a bug hotel so the good bugs can have a lovely place to live and they don't need to find a place to build with shelter.
