Planning my Melted Crayon Art

The picture I have chosen is a drawing of an umbrella protecting a Kiwi from the rain. I think that this can definitely remind people about New Zealand. The type of art will be silhouette. It will have most of the colours of the rainbow. I am very excited to try this art because it is one type of artwork I have not tried before. The colour of the umbrella and the Kiwi will be black. Hopefully when I am finished this art, the colours will stand out more than the planning.

Storyboard that - My struggles in Writing

Today I used a storyboard creator to write my struggles in Writing. I explained what I was having difficulty with and how I was going to fix it. I am doing this so I can achieve my writing goals for this year. To create a storyboard like the above click here.

Prototec - Maths T4W3

Today I sat a prototec test. My stage was stage 7 and instead of sheet, I used time. As you can see my results were 80%. I accidently forgot to take a screenshot on what I got wrong. I can say though that I got a few wrong in square roots and bits were wrong in percentages. By the end of this year I want to achieve 100% so I can move to the next level. Doing this also expanded my learning in basic facts.

Chemical Change - Fire

T4W3 : MONDAY  

Chemical Change - Fire

Ask a question What will happen if you combine the paper and the matches?

Construct a hypothesis( make a guess) I think that the paper will burn.

Conduct the experiment

Record your observations and data:  Change of colour, release of gas,

Analyse information

Report results Today we conducted an experiment on paper and matches. A chemical change is something that is irreversible after being formed.Before conducting the experiment, we needed to complete the scientific method which is.. Make an assumption (Guess) Conduct experiment Record observations Analyse information Report results I made a guess that the paper would burn. While the experiment was held, I noticed… Change of colour Release of gas As soon as the newspaper was burnt, there was a sudden change in the formula of the paper. It transformed into ashes. The temperature changed by quite a mile and there was clearly a release of gas. I believe this helped expand my knowledge in chemical change. I would also like to try more experiments to see how they are unable to be reversed.

La Tomatina and Bullfightiing Venn Diagrams

Last week Harrison and I completed the similarities and differences of La Tomatina and Bullfighting. Through doing this I learnt about other celebrations around the world. I enjoyed researching about these celebrations and hope to do it again.

Chemical changes through baking - T4W2 Thurday

Walht: Write a paragraph on chemical change.

Baking Pikelets to see Chemical Changes. First of all a Chemical change is a result of a new substance in which can not be reversed. Before we discover chemical change, we needed to complete the scientific method. Asking a question and making an assumption. Combined ingredients help chemical changes but through baking, it is heat. It is simply like applying milk to the dry ingredients ( Flour, Sugar, Baking Soda e.t.c.) It becomes liquid. While cooking the pancakes you will observe the chemical changes when…

• Release of gas (Bubbles form)
• Colour change  ( Golden brown)
• Temperature change

Once you know when your pancakes are finished through chemical change, you can enjoy them. Delicious!
