2K16 Reflection

It has been a great year here at Pt England School. I have learnt a lot and made a lot of new friends. I have been at this school for 8 years and sadly this year is my last year not only learning at this school but it is my last time seeing most of my friends. I may have time to see them again but I wont be able to see them every single day. All I would like to write is thank you to all my the teachers that have taught me and thank you to my friends that have been with me all these years.

Prize Giving

Recently the years 5 to 8 had there prize giving at 7:00pm. Lots of children were given  letters that reveal to there parents they will be getting a prize. Lots on letters were sent out and lots of kids were given there prizes. But after each prize all the year levels had to perform an item of dancing to a song or songs. I am year 8 and for our item we danced to Waterfalls, I got the feeling and see you again. Our dance was ok but the best ones were the year 5 and 6. They danced to latest songs and had a lot of enthusiasm.

A Science Investigation

Fair Testing

Fill out the following table to help you explain the Growing in the dark: Plants and light experiment

Aim - what are you trying to find out?	If plants need light to grow
Hypothesis - what do you think your results will be?	I think the plants do need light to grow
Independent Variable - what variable will you change?	The amount of light each plant has
Dependent Variable - what variable will you measure?	How much soil will be in the pot covering the seed
Controlled Variable - what variables will you keep the same?	The amount of water added to the plant

The students of Room 4 wanted to find out what colour of bird feeders birds preferred. FIll out the table below thinking of which variables you would make independent, dependent and controlled.

Aim - what are you trying to find out?	What colour do birds prefer on their bird feeders
Hypothesis - what do you think your results will be?	I think the birds will be use to the colour brown because it will feel like their eating out of the tree.
Independent Variable - what variable will you change?	Different colors on the bird feeders
Dependent Variable - what variable will you measure?	The amount of food added to the feeder
Controlled Variable - what variables will you keep the same?	The size of the feeders.

INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions should have clear, simple steps so you don’t confuse the person reading them.

Can you make these various instructions easier to understand?

Pick up an egg, gently hit it against the side of a bowl and empty the contents into a clean bowl.	Take one egg and crack it open then pour it out into the bowl.
Open the fridge and take out the butter. Take off the lid. Get a knife and use it to scoop some butter. Rub the knife onto the toast.	Take your butter and evenly spread it onto your toast.
Hold the two shortest sides of paper and bend them together. Squeeze them so that the paper is now in half.	Fold the paper in half.
When you hear the sound of the whistle, move one leg in front of the other as quickly as you can.	When you hear the whistle, run as fast as you can.
When player One had rolled the die, they should hand it to player Two, who should then roll it too. The person with the highest score moves their counter first.	Go around having turns rolling the die to see who gets the highest roll.
If you want to turn on the computer, look for the round, lack power button and press it once.	Press the power button once.
Hold the handles of the scissors and cut along the dotted line, making sure you don’t hurt yourself.	Get your scissors and cut along the dotted line.
Before you start mixing the ingredients, switch on the oven and turn the dial to 140 degrees.	Pre-heat your oven to 140 degrees.
Take the lid off the glue stick and rub the glue on the tab, being careful not to get any glue on your clothes.	Rub glue onto the tab.
When you have planted your seed, pick up the pot and move it it near to a window where it will get lots of sunlight.	After planting your seeds and watering your plant. Move it to the window.

Task

Work on this Doc together with a partner.

What 3 ingredients are needed for rust to occur.

Water - H2O

Iron - Fe.

Oxygen - O

Write a brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)

When Iron comes intact with water and oxygen over a long period of time it is exposed to rust.  Over time, the oxygen combines with the metal, forming a new compound called an oxide and weakening the bonds of the metal itself.

How could you prevent something from rusting?

In the video I had watched it shows that one of the rust experiment didn’t work because of oil. They put water, a nail and a little bit of oil on the surface. The oil stopped the oxygen from getting in so the nail didn’t rust.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading.

I have learnt that oil can stop things from rusting I have also learnt that if you add salt to water, iron and oxygen it speed up the process of rust Lastly I never new the process of making rust but now I do.

BEDMAS

I am learning how to use BEDMAS for algebraic questions.

States of matter

Give three examples of each state of matter?

Solid	Liquid	Gas
Ice	Water	Helium
Wood	Fizzy	Oxygen
Rock	Coffee	Hydrogen

What’s the difference between the three states of matter?

Solids	Liquids	Gases
The particles in a solid are close together and arranged in a regular way.	The particles in liquid are close together and arranged in a random way.	The particles in gases are far apart and arranged in a random way letting them flow anywhere.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you learned from this reading.

I have learnt that everything is made out of matter. I know this because matter is something that has weight, and takes up space. Now I know that even I am made of matter because I have weight and I take up space. I have also learnt water can be any state of matter. Water has a cycle called hydro logical cycle or the H2O cycle. This is where water can evaporate and rise to the clouds which is called condensation and when the clouds get packed it then forms rain and then precipitation which is when the water falls back to the floor and it all starts over again.
