Amazing science experiment!!!

                        Have you ever done a Tornado experiment with only 4 things?

Well, guess what Kea did! On Monday kea did a science experiment about tornados first we had to get into our groups Whaea Sam said to get into groups of four, two girls and two boys.

First Manu and I got into a pair and searched for two boys to join us. Then Manu saw her brother Nafi paired up with Ken and told them to join us so we could be a group.

Next Whaea Sam told us to come with her to Waka Toru, some other groups came as well.

After that, we got a 1.5-liter bottle and sat down at a table. Then we had to tip some water out or it wouldn't form a tornado. Then, we waited for Whaea Sam to finish with the other group so she could come to us. When Whaea Sam came to us she added pinkish-red food colouring and glitter.

A little while later we got to test our  Tornado. We had to shake it then count how long it would take to stop spinning. When we started the shaking Ken's brother Ha'amonga joined our group. Ken had the first turn shaking, his time was 10 seconds, Nafi got the same time, Ha'amonga was up next and got eight seconds, then Manu got two seconds and I got four seconds. Since Ken and Nafi got the most and tied they battled each other to see who could get the final score of longest spinning tornado Nafi won eventually because Ken got ten and Nafi got eleven. 

Finally, we wrote down what we noticed and recognized. We all noticed that when we shook the bottle, it formed a little tornado and we recognized that the glitter followed the water in a circle, which made it easier to see the tornado.

I wonder what would happen if we used two bottles like this photo

Tsunami experiment

                                       Tsunami experiment

          Have you ever done a science experiment on Tsunamis?

Well … On Monday we did a science experiment on Tsunamis. Everyone was so excited.

First, we got into our groups. I was at the front of my group and was told to use my Chromebook to take photos. In my group were Lancy, Juziah, Ahliya, and Princeton. Next,  we got our equipment and sat at our table. The equipment was a newspaper, a container, and some paper. While I was taking pictures Lancy, Juziah and Ahliya were scrunching up the newspaper, while Princeton was making houses out of paper.  

     

                                                                       After Princeton finished making the first house then Juziah went and got some sand to cover up our newspaper to make a hill then Lancy got even more sand to add to the hill.

After that, Juziah and Lancy got some leaves and plants to make a shield to protect the house. Once all the leaves were placed, Princeton placed the second house.

A little while later, Princeton got some water and poured it into the tray then Whaea Ocea got a piece of cardboard and went back and forth with the cardboard to make strong waves. When the waves stopped we saw that our houses survived the tsunami.

Here is proof ours survived!!!

Earthquake experiment

👈Watch this video👈💯 percent good!!!

We did an earthquake experiment to see if we could build a structure that wouldn't fall.

 Our hypothesis is that the buildings would all fall off the board and that actually happened!!! 

What we found difficult was that the little balls holding the board up kept on falling out when we were shaking it for the video to post on class dojo.

Erosion experiment writing

Last week ... kea did a science experiment about Erosions. First, we got into groups of Seven and went to our workshop, which was Waka Toru. 

Next, we got given a clipboard and wrote a hypothesis, our hypothesis was that the mountain would flood.Then we wrote the name of our mountain it was Cool girl mountain. After that, we got given a little plastic tub and a plastic cup.

A little while later we put a bunch of sand into the plastic tub it was so much our tub was overflowing.

It was overflowing like a waterfall, after we molded the mountain we decorated it with sticks, leaves, twigs, etc.

Finally, we put some water into our cup and slowly poured it over the tippy-top of the mountain Cool girl it started making a hole. when we had finished we put the sticks, twigs, leaves, etc into the garden and tipped the sand into the sand pit.
