Do stars twinkle?

 We did a science experiment to see if stars really twinkle. Here are my findings, hope you enjoy my work.

Plate tectonic.

 Kia ora / hello 

We did an experment about tectonic plates. We used home made tomato sauce by Mrs B. We had two wafers and tomato sauce, we were moving them around a lot too. We had to move them together, move them apart, move one over top of another, and up and down.

Science: Me and my DNA.

This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s. 

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  4---people said they could recognise me from my description. my hair

Science Fair

Yesterday we had our school science fair. My science investigation was about paper planes and how the different affect of paper fly.

Scientific Writing

We did a science experiment and here it is.

B E G I N N I N G	TITLE	Balloon Hovercraft
	QUESTION	How does a hovercraft hover?
	HYPOTHESIS	I predict that it's going to hover across the table.

M I D D L E	EQUIPMENT  AND MATERIALS:	I need some air, a balloon, a bottle cap and a cd.
	PROCEDURE:	Step 1:Using a hot glue gun,glue the bottle cap over the CD hole. Step 2:twist the end so no air comes out.blow up a balloon end over the bottle lid.  Step 3: Stretch the balloon end over the bottle lid. Step 4: open up the cap and place the CD on a table. Step 5: untwist balloon and let go.
	OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:	The Hovercraft hovered over to the other side of the table. It was slightly off the table. It left a damp trail.

E N D

CONCLUSION:

The air from the balloon creates a cushion of moving air between the disc and the CD and reduces the friction across the surface.
