Gravity experiment writing

                              Do you know what gravity is?

Well…  on Monday Kea did a science experiment about gravity!.

First, we watched a short video about gravity and how Isaac Newton discovered it by peacefully sitting under a tree then BAM! an apple fell on his head, after watching the video kea did it themselves.

Next, We got into groups of four, then headed to our waka. We had to predict and write down our hypothesis for each object. After writing our hypothesis we gathered ten items to put to the test to see which would drop to the ground first.

After we dropped the items and the lighter fell to the ground first. Once the items were dropped we wrote down our results then recorded other groups' results.

Finally, we packed up and sat on the mat for morning tea.

Our Science fair

Have you ever had a science fair?

Well...on the last day of the term, Kea had a science fair.    
All of the stalls were set up ready to start the science fair. In my group were Exodus, Nafi, Sale, Manu, and me.  In the science fair, my role was the experimenter and we were The volcanic crew. Our question was does the effect of the temperature affect the magma? Our results were that the temperature does affect the magma in the explosion. When the science fair started Takahe came they mostly went to play with the sand to make tiny volcano explosions.

Next, Some parents came to our stall right away. They were interested in our work and asked many questions. It was super fun and educational, the science fair was also very easy for me to do.

A little while later, Hoiho came to our stall and was interested in what we did when we were talking.

Finally, it was the end of the Science fair. All the parents and Hoiho left and each house like Puketapapa, Owairaka, and more got given a job. In my house Puketapapa, we had to sweep the hall and clean it. When we cleaned the hall we got ready to go home and then when it was 3.00pm we went home.

Travel Wise Poster/Keeping kids out of Car parks!

Hi, For the past few days we have been doing travel wise posters about, wearing a helmet, Walking your scooter/bike across crossings and in school grounds or keep kids out of car parks i choose to do a poster about keeping kids out of car parks because I know what can happen if your in a car park with lots of cars.

Flood barrier experiment

                             Have you ever built a flood barrier to protect your house?

                       Well... on Monday Kea did a science experiment about flood barriers!.

         The next day, I joined Elijah's group, Peyton joined as well, because we were not here on Monday.

      While everyone was here, I checked who was in my group and they were Elijah, Robel, Sulia, Peyton,            and Kylie. We were all finishing building, then Robel and I went to record some other groups that finished their Flood barriers to see if they would survive or not.

        Later on, while we were recording we saw some awesome flood barriers for example one group flood        barrier was made out of cotton balls it was really cool. Some groups did the experiment while we were recording other groups so we didn't get to see what happened.

                         I wonder what would have happened if we used more absorbent things?

                                                                      The end!

The most amazing boat animation ever

 Hi, in Cybersmart today we have been learning how to do a stop motion animation I already knew how to do it because I have done a lot of stop motion animation before. I found it hard to move it exactly to make it look like it was actually moving. What I found easy was making props and the boat. Next time I could try making it look better. If you want to make a stop motion animation don't try and copy it all and try to make it look the same just press  CTRL D to duplicate it.
