Ice Expirement

today we did an ice experiment. The ice experiment was where you got a bowl and My teacher gave me ice balls and salt and we put it on and then the teacher also put the dye on it then it cracked slightly. after that, we got to smash them. 

Top Secret Sherbet

Today we made sherbet. For science. Our teacher made us eat every ingredient the ingredients was Icing Sugar, Baking Soda, Citric Acid, and Tartaric. Acid. My favorite ingredient was Icing Sugar because it was really sweet. Our best sherbet was really good it was so foamy inside our mouth

Bird Beak Experiment

Today in class we did an Science experiment. We had different types of tweezers that looked like bird beaks. You were divided in a group there were four people in the groups in my group there was Max, Xavier.p, Peter, Henry and me. There were skittles and gummy worms you had to get the tweezers and poke the gummy worm or try pick them up. At the end we got to eat the rest.

Ministry of Education test

Today all of the Year Fives went to do a Ministry of Education test. It's a math and science test. We had 36 minutes to do paragraph 1 and for paragraph 2 we also had 36 minutes. If you finished early you read a book. We got a pen and a certificate when we were done. I think it went pretty well.

Science!

 

Today for science we had 4 containers filled with different types of colors. We as a class wanted to see which ones would absorb more water, the wet ones or the dry ones. So we came back after lunch and the dry ones absorbed more so that was our lesson for science. 

ANIMAL CLASSFICATION!!!!

Today we learned about how animals are classsified into groups. Animals are either vetrerbrates (which means they have a spine) or inveterbrates (which don't have a spine)

Inveterbrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects and octupus

Verterbrates are put into five groups. They are mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and amphibians Mammals have fur or hair  ang give birth  to live young . birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. rerptiles are cold blooded and lay soft eggs . amphbians breath through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. fish breath through gills and have fins.

5 examples of each type

MAMMALS: Tiger, Cow, Bull, Spider Monkey, Pig

BIRDS: Trumpeter, Puffin, Crane, Frog mouth, Bee-Eater

REPTILES: Crocodile, Turtle, Tuatara, Lizard, Komodo dragon

AMPHIBIANS: Frog, Salamander, Caecilian, Toads, Newts.

FISH: Guppy, Goldfish, Zander, Shark, Megalodon

Science Roadshow

 Last week we had the Science Roadshow fair which took place at Edendale Primary School. We tried some of their science projects. My favourite one was you get this scanner and scan a barcode and the robot will pick up a lid, which is very cool. It used programming and magnets.
