Wizard wand - Kete

This is my friend and I's advertisement we did on a google slide. We did this in kete and had to present it in front of our class. I was very nervous but once I got into it, I was happy. 

Our product was a wizard wand and it was fun pretending to convince people to buy one. Hope you enjoy:)

What does respecting people look like? - Philosophy

 

This is my philosophy blog post that I created with my group Shontelle and Hope. In philosophy we were talking about what respecting people, places, properties and beliefs look like. So we chose what does respecting people look like?. Here's a mindmup of what respecting people looks like.

Hope you enjoy :)      

Making a paper clip float - Science

Making a paper clip float

The left photo is the sunken paper clip and the right photo is the floating paper clip with a piece of tissue.

 Today my class and I did a science experiment called making a paper clip float. It's not that amazing but it was easy to do. I did it with my partner Shontelle and it was a success. I was happy and so was my partner. 😁

We needed:

Clean dry paper clip

tissue paper

A beaker filled with water

Pencil

What to do

1. Fill the bowl with water
2. Try to make the paper clip float…not much luck, huh?
3. Tear a piece of tissue paper about half the size of a CARR card.
4. GENTLY drop the tissue flat onto the surface of the water
5. GENTLY place a dry paper clip flat onto the tissue (try not to touch the water or the tissue)
6. Use the eraser end of the pencil to carefully poke the tissue (not the paper clip) until the tissue sinks. With some luck, the tissue will sink and leave the paper clip floating!

It works with a little thing that scientist call it surface tension. Scientist say that there is a sort of skin on the surface of water that might be making the paperclip float. The paper clip is truly not floating, it is being held up by the surface tension.     

Blobs in a bottle

Today in science with my group Hope and Addyson, we made a lava lamp in a empty coke bottle. We each got a turn of adding the ingredients in and it was fun. Our lava lamp didn't do what we expected to be but it was success. 

Oil is lighter than water so stays on top of the water. The quick - Eze go through the oil into the water and start to dissolve. When they dissolve they send bubbles up through the oil.

Here are some photos and the ingredients.

The ingredients:
3/4 cup if Water
Vegetable oil 
Food coloring
Quick Eze / Mylanta tablets

I hope you enjoyed my blog post.
