Egg Drop!

 We were learning about Newton's first  law Inertia Equipment we use was.....

1 cup

Water

A flat tray or plate                                                         Go to the team Tora site to learn more!

Egg                                                                                                The site

1 cardboard toilet paper role.

CAN YOU GET THE EGG IN THE WATER?

We filled up the cup of water and placed the plate on top then using the toilet paper roll to place above it leaving the egg on top of the of the toilet roll. I placed my hand i couple of centimetres away from the cup and then my arm started to feel tense put i went for it and knocked the egg into the water after that i was worried there was a chick inside of the egg and i wiped the egg and did the whole thing over again.

Newton's First Law, once the egg was moving, it didn't want to stop. The container of water interrupted the egg's fall, providing a safe place for the egg to stop moving so you could recover it unbroken. The gravity-pushed egg caused the water to splash out.

We were learning about..Newton's first law of motion

I found it easy to... Set it all up.

I found it hard to... Make sure the egg was going to land into the right.

I enjoyed...Watching the egg grow large as it plopped into the water.

Next time i will... Try stay more focused and keep my hands steady.

M&Ms Experiment!

Can you bet an ALL Black???

Read all about the British engineer who broke the Guinness World record for stacking M&M's. British engineer breaks Guinness World Record

Now watch the Seven Sharp video where the Māori All Blacks give it a go... Are they successful?

Now, give it a go!

We were learning about Newton's law of motion by stacking M&Ms and rocks of different shapes and sizes. The highest someone got up to was five by a British Engineer AND a maori ALL black in science only TWO people got to 4 M&Ms the task is harder than you think!

We were learning about... Newtons law of motion

I found it easy to... Eat the M&Ms

I found it hard to... Stack the M&Ms

I enjoyed... Eating the M&Ms

Next time i will... Try stacking the M&Ms slower

Balloon Madness!

            

We were learning about Newtons law of motion!

We used a piece of string and cut a paper straw 

into quarters and blew up a balloon and then put tape 

on it.  2 people (including me) held both sides of the string

and the person who blew the balloon up let it go!

The balloon looked like a racing car my group

decided to make one end higher and the other

one lower it went ZOOMING fast

We also decided to blow the balloon up MASSIVE but it wasn't as cool as the first time. Overall it was SO fun!

• We were learning about... Newtons law of motion
• I found it easy to... Hold the string
• I found it hard to... make sure that the balloon was ok
• I enjoyed... Watching the balloon go very fast
• Next time I will...  Try with a different shaped balloon

 

Should we be prepared for a natural diaster?

•  We were learning about... How to persuade someone with writing.
• I found it easy to... Add more rich words and posting to my blog.
• I found it hard to... Look for persuading words.
• I enjoyed... Writing it and getting to argue.
• Next time I will...  Try and add more connectives.

 

Colour Changing Milk!

We were learning about milk. We needed to pour milk into a bowl then we soaked a cotton bud with soap put a couple drops of different types of food colouring put the cotton bud in and WHAM the milk started to stretch out and the colours started mixing together. We didn't put the whole cotton bud in we slowly dipped it in. My groups one started looking like peacock. This happen because the milk contains a lot of fat and the food colouring started mixing. it looked pretty cool and fun! Youtube clip

•  We were learning about... How the food coloring and milk mixed.
• I found it easy to... put the food coloring and watch it became a masterpiece
• I found it hard to... Watch the colours slowly mix
• I enjoyed...The final piece at the end.
• Next time I will... Add more different colours.
