Book Week

  I am Qin from the dragon knights today because it is our dress up day. Today we got to dress up as book characters form our favourite books. I dressed up is Qin because he is the main character of my favourite book dragon knights. There are three books in the series. 

Qin is my favourite character because he has spirt and will power and can turn in to an earth dragon and is son of the king.

Who would you dress up as how would you do this?

Science Incursion

This term we are learning about science and materials.
Last week we participated in a school visit from Hands On Science. We did experiments my favourite was the one were we tested the materials on how water resistant they were.
Here is the science report for what we did.

Aim to see which materials are water proof.

Hypothesis the plastic will take the longest time to soke in the water in because most plastics are water proof.

Variables 

Measure how  many seconds it takes for the water to soke into the material 

Change the material 

Same the amount of water used 

Materials 

  • wool 
  • nomex 
  • plastic
  • dri fit 
  • nylon
  • cotton 
  • water droper
  • water

 

Method

1 Hold the dropper over the material

2 Drop one of the drops of water on to the material

3 Count how many seconds finds it takes the water the absorb

4 Repeat this for all the Materials

What do you think will happen?
