Science roadshow

Today people came to our school they were doing science and they brag a lot of cool experience there was one that was like a illusion. So what would happen is you would go inside something and there was curtains around you and it had black and white strips on it. The curtains would move around you and you will start feeling  dizzy and it was like your moving but your not. When you come out your  about to fall over.


There was a thing that show how your bones work when your riding a bike so there is two bikes and they are connected together so at the speed your riding it will go at the same paste. you see what your bones do it's really cool and he was wearing some cool sunglasses he was the best skeleton. What they were trying to teach us was how our bones work so what happens when you padel your bones would bend.


The first thing we learnt about was temperature so what they did to show us about temperature was they got a thing that freezes things so they called up a volunteer so they put a ball throw a hop it fit very well but when he put it in the ice. He brought the hoop back out and they but the ball through the hoop it wouldn't fit it's because when you put it in ice it makes the hoop smaller that why it didn't fit.

Purple Cabbage

Today at science we were doing something called purple cabbage we had to turn it into a purple milkshake but it would taste very yuck joking we didn't drink it but we did make it into a milk shake it smelled like kiwi fruit but the smell was very strong.


Purple Cabbage Experiment

Last period in science we looked at the pH scale. Today we are going to make a purple cabbage indicator that will test the acidity or alkalinity of white vinegar and washing powder. The indicator is neutral and has a pH of 7.

Answer the following questions before you start the experiment.

What colour do you think the white vinegar will turn the purple cabbage indicator?

Why do you think this?

What colour do you think the washing powder will turn the purple cabbage indicator?
Why do you think this?

Method:

1 Peel off three or four big cabbage leaves and put them in a blender filled half full with water. Blend the mixture on high until you have purple cabbage juice.

2 Pour the purplish cabbage liquid through a strainer to filter out all of the big chunks of cabbage. Save the liquid for the experiments to follow.

3 Set out three beakers, side by side. Fill each glass three-quarters full with cabbage juice.

4 Add a little vinegar to the first beaker of cabbage juice. Stir with stirring rod and watch the colour change.

5 In the second beaker, add a little laundry detergent and stir.

6 Take a photo of your 3 beakers side by side.

Reflection:

Were your answers right or wrong?

What number do you think the white vinegar would be on the pH scale?

What number do you think the washing powder would be on the pH scale?

Complete a blog post with photos.

Passion project

at today's passion project we were learning about sport tournament and my manger thought that it would be a good idea to name our group bald William because his got a bald hair it's not a good name but we do have Vin diesel in our group. what I have learned today is that you have to plan something before you do it because we were doing a lot of things that we forgot to do our planning but lucky a teacher came and helped us plan our plan. after he helped us we finished our plan and we finished our poster we tried our hardest to get it all done at first we were mocking around but when we got told what to do we foces on our work and we gave it our hardest. It helps us by making us try our hardest next time because you look at your work you know you can do better next time because you know it wasn't enough work and it might be year 5 or 4 level it has to be your best work. our next step is to get everything ready and do it like asking Mr rogers if we could use some equipment or the gym or kids so that we could teach them about that sport but me and my group are doing students vs parents. these are the sports that we will be doing baseball, netball, basket ball, football (soccer) and tug of war here is some of my work this is my poster.
