Drama

This week in drama we had to make a poem about us and what we are. Here is my poem that I have created.

Thoughtful by letting people use my chromebook charger

Yelling when I need help in soccer

Sensible by doing my work when no one is watching

Organised when I get ready for school

Natural when playing soccer

Kind to my sister and to anyone

Encouraging to my sister while playing rugby

Neat when I do my work

Noble when I do challenging things

Delightful by making people laugh

Entertaining by doing card tricks

Yelding by making my grandma a coffee when she wants one

Forensics science

Forensic Science

Definition: Matter of criminal justice especially as relating to the collection, examination and analysis to physical evidence

5 Forensic Science topics;

1.  Balistics
2.  Footprints
3.  Clothes
4.  Fingerprints
5.  DNA

    

Finger prints

Fingerprint characteristics

Aim: To look at the different types of fingerprints.

Materials: 

1.   Balloons
2.   Your fingers
3.   An ink pad 

Steps

1.   Get a ink pad and press your thumb on it
2.   Then get a balloon and press your thumb on it 
3.   After put your index finger on the ink pad
4.   After that press your index finger on the other side of the balloon
5.   Blow the balloon up

Insert two pictures here of your fingerprints

Ink prints

Thumb print	Index finger print
If you see slightly you can see my thumb on the balloon.	My balloon popped so I did it on a piece of paper (sorry but the photo isn't the greatest so you cant see)

Record the types of fingerprints from those in your group.

Name	Fingerprint 1 (Thumb)	Fingerprint 2 (index finger)
Tyson	Loop	Loop
Hunter	Whorl	Whorl

Dusting fingerprints:

Lifting fingerprints

Aim: To learn how to lift hidden fingerprints from an object.

1. Lifting and Gathering fingerprints.

Equipment:

1.   Sellotape 
2.   Plastic
3.   White powder (it smelt like baby powder)
4.   A brush
5.   Your fingers

1. Get a piece of 
2. Get white powder  
3.  Brush white powder onto the piece of plastic
4.  Take off some acsese of the white powder into the bin
5. Press your thumb print and your index finger print onto the powder
6. Get 2 pieces of sellotape and then press 1 piece of the sellotape onto your thumb print and then press the 2nd piece of sellotape onto your index finger
7. Take off the sellotape slightly and your finger prints should be on the sellotape
8. Take a photo

Results: It went very well just the fingerprints didnt show up properly that I thought it would be

Lifted fingerprints

Thumb print	Index finger print
This is my thumb print (sorry the photo isn't the greatest)	This is my index finger print (sorry the photo isn't the greatest)

Conclusion : It was a success but the finger prints didnt come out as well as I thought it would be and it was a very fun time

Maths Interchange

For the last few weeks in maths interchange my group have been learning about tens and hundreds, also we are learning about how many hundreds there are in numbers over 1000. We have been learning about $100 dollar notes, $10 notes and $1 coins to make up to a thousands number and a hundreds number.

Here are some questions and answers we have been doing. (example)

Gems and jewellery buys second hand jewellery to sell The store only has  $100 notes, $10 notes and $1 coins in the till. Use play money to show how many $100 notes, $10 notes and $1 coins they would need to buy these items.

Here are some questions and answers:

A. A watch for $360

3 of the $100 notes and 6 of the $10 notes

B. A diamond necklace for $1270

12 of the $100 notes and 7 of the $10 notes

C. A gold ring for $2469

24 of the $100 notes, 6 of the $10 notes and 9 of the $1 coins

D. A pair of ruby earrings for 2074

20 of the $100 notes, 7 of the $10 notes and 4 of the $1 coins

Can you please give me some feedback.

Dirty water experiment

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1.  Oil
2.  A swimming pool
3.  Water
4. Kettle

Materials

1. Filter paper, cone

2. Funnel

3. Sand

4. Bottle

5. Scissors

6. Water/Dirt

7. Pebbles

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Get a empty bottle and cut around the top to make a funnel

Step 2

Fold the filter paper to make a cone

STEP 3

Put the funnel in the bottle, also put the cone in the funnel after that push the cone towards the sides of the bottle

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of sand and put it into the cone slowly

STEP 5

Get 1 cup of pebbles and put them with the sand slowly

STEP 6

After that get a cup of water and dirt and then put the water in the funnel and count how much drops of water went through. See what colour it changed

Findings

The water went quiet fast but my group counted up the drops, The water went through about a quarter way through and the colour of the water was clear

Minutes                          1.                         2.                   3.                    4.                       5.
Drops per minute:         32                       32                  32                   32                      32
Water colour:               clear                   clear               clear               clear                  clear

Conclusion:

The water that flowed through the filter was clear with a green tinge. The water flowed at 32 drops per minute. The bark, soil &  leaves sat on top of the pebbles

The teacher asked us a question. Why did the drops go slowly?

The drops went down slowly because of the filter paper

 

Drama

Today in drama we were talking about the food pyramid. The food pyramid is shows you what you should eat least of and what you should eat more of. The food pyramid also shows you about what is healthy and what is not healthy. 

At the bottom of the pyramid it means what you should normally eat a day, The middle part of the pyramid means that you can eat that stuff some days and the top of the pyramid it means you should not have it because it is bad for you, also you won't stay healthy for your well being.

Different white powders

Today for science we have been learning about all of the different white powders and what the do.

Today you will be a Forensic Chemist. 

A bag of white powder has been confiscated by the airport customs.  You need to find out what white powder it is?

Aim: To learn about the makeup of different white powders.



There are  a number of different white powders in our everyday life. Some of these are harmful and others are not. Test the four white powders listed to see which one has been found at the airport.

You will be given a small amount of 4 white powders on your cardboard. On the black cardboard using a magnifying glass look at the powders.

Look at them under your magnifying glass and record what you see. 

These are the four powders we will be using. Upload a photo of each powder. 

1.  Cornflour
2.  Baking Soda
3.  Salt
4.  Sugar 

Before you add the iodine, vinegar or water you will need to divide each powder into 3.

Materials

1.  Pipette
2.  Vinegar 
3.  Iodine
4.  Water
5.  Magnifine glass
6.  Paper

Steps

1. Fold cardboard into 4 
2. Put powders into 4 sections and into three bitz

3. Drop liquid into powders and record your findings
4. Use magnifine glass to see if it is big, medium or small
5. put down your recordings

Findings:

Words to use: Absorbed, spread, frothed, fizzed, melted, blob,

	Sugar	Salt	Baking Soda	Cornflour
Appearance (White)	White	White	White	White
Grains (small, medium large)	Big	Big	Medium	Small
Smell (Strong, none)	Didn't smell like anything	Didn't smell like anything	Didn't smell like anything	Didn't smell like anything
Iodine	Melts/spreads	Melts/spreads	Bubbles/Hard	doesn't melt
Water	Melts	spreads	spreads	melts
Vinegar	Melts	Melts	doesn't melts	Doesn't melts

Write a conclusion about your findings. ( 4 plus sentences)

The sugar melted and spreaded through the sugar
The salt melted and spreaded through the salt
The Baking Soda went bubbly then went hard also it spreaded
The cornflour melted and didn't smell like anything
I learnt that if you put Iodine on baking soda and fizzed up and then went hard
When I looked at the powder I could see that they were all in different sizes

Do all the same experiments on the mystery white powder. What is it?

It was Baking soda because I could tell it went hard and fizzed up like it did the first time
