Today our class was told to do our Prototec, we had to compare our last score to this one. For my last prototec I got 80% and this time I have 92%. 92% isn't bad but, my teacher wants us to reach 95% to move to the next level. I still have to work on a few things then I will be able to reach the 95% that my teacher wants.
Today in our science class we did our first investigation. we had to go get a smartwatch to see how fast our heart can pump. The first activity we did was sitting down and for that I got 109mmHg. We also had to sit down for 30 seconds. Next we had to stand up and jog on our spot for about 30 seconds again for that I got 134mmHg After that we had to go get a tennis ball and throw it to your partner for 30 seconds again. Also for that I got 126mmHg. Then we had to stretch and do start jumps for 30 seconds. For doing stretching I got 126mmHg and for start jump I got 111 mmHg. Lastly I had to go outside and run as fast as I can for 30 seconds and for that I got 154 mmHg
Today the girls in year 7 and 8 from room 6 and 7 did self - defence class. We were sent to room 12 to our teacher Audrey. She was teaching us how to defence us girls from boys that are acting us or even someone older that is trying to kill us. We were really interested in her stories that she told us. We were also learning how to yell out if you need help. She was also really fun to talk too. We were also learnt how to attack when someone comes behind us. My favourite part was when I learnt how to attack when someone was trying to pull me from the floor. At the end everyone got certificates.
First we had to fill up our conical flask with water up to 250ml. Also we had to up the celery. Next we had to choose what food colour to put in. So I chose red. We had to put 10 drops in the conical flask together with the water. Then we put in the celery, wrap a plastic bag on top of the leaves and tie it around. Now we had to wait 30mins. After that we opened the bag up and the colours has went up the stem and changed it colours.
Today in science we were learning about acids and bases . First we had to watch a video about acids and bases , just after that our teacher showed us another video about dipping litmus paper into different kind of things. E.g baking soda, Distilled water, window cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, lemon juice, milk, orange juice, apple juice, vinegar, detergent, tea and coffee . Then we took our litmus paper, one was red and the other was blue, we dipped them in each one to see if they will change colours.
here are the results :)
Today in science we were learning about to make bubbles and tricks you can do with bubbles. First we were writing the equipment and stuff we need to make are bubbles. Next are teacher Mrs Sharma gave us the equipment to make our bubbles. Then we needed to grab a beaker and fill 150 mls of water. Then we put 5 grams of sugar inside are water and stir it around to make it dissolve. Next we put in soap and glycerol inside are water and stirred it slowly to make are bubbles. Then we made are wand and grabbed straws to blow are bubbles. Finally we started to make blowing our bubbles. We also had to make caterpillars and also learning how to make a cube inside a bubble. The high score was 7 but I only got 5. :)
Today we did our E-asttle - Math Test . I tried really hard because, last term I was not happy with my score. This term I achieve 5P and last term I achieve a 2P which was not the score my teacher was looking for. I am really happy to see that I have improved a lot. Hopefully I will do better.
Today we did our E-asttle - Math Test . Everything was doing right until it got harder and harder. In term one I achieve 3A and this term I achieve 4B, which is a pretty big step. I am really happy to see that I have improved a lot. Also I hope I will do better next time.
Today we did our E-asttle - Reading Test . It was kind of hard doing this reading test. It was a bit harder than the other test. It started of easy and got harder and harder. For my term one test I achieve a 2P and this term I achieved a 4B. I am really happy that I really improved a lot. I am also hoping I will do better next time.
Today in science we were learning about flower parts. Our flower that we were learning about was the hibiscus. We were also learning about the female part and the male part. The first thing Mrs Sharma showed us what a video about the hibiscus. Next we had to draw a hibiscus flower and label the parts. Then Mrs Sharma handed around a chopping board and a knife to dissect a hibiscus. While she did that we had to watch a video and while we were watching we were dissecting the hibiscus from part to part. After that we took the pollen from the hibiscus and mash it up and put it on glass slide and a cover slide. Finally we put two drops of water on the pollen, and then put it under the microscope. It was very clear to see and yellow. It was really fun to see everyone's reaction to see different things under the microscope.
Today in science we did our first experiment.
First we poured 100ml of cold water into the beaker.
Next we had to scoop 10g of sugar into the petri dish and put it on to the weighing machine.
After we have did that we started our timer, poured the sugar in and stirred it with a stirring rod until all the sugar was dissolved.
Also we used 100 ml of hot water and another 10g of sugar then started our timer and stirred the water again until the sugar was dissolved.
The faster one to dissolve was the one in hot water.
The time for the sugar in the cold water to dissolve was 1min 5sec
The time for the sugar in the hot water to dissolve was 22sec
Today in Technology we had exchanged from cooking to science. Today in science we were learning about how does the plane fly. Now for the plane to fly it needs thrust, lift, drag and weight. We even made paper planes to see how far they will go. My first try was 2.40cm, my second try was 3.40cm and my last try was 4.50. I think the reason it was not even flying far enough because it had so much weight but, I tired.
Thrust - helps the plane go forward
Lift - helps to keep it up in the air.
Drag - is the force that slows the plan down
Weight - is caused by gravity and is what forces the plane down
Today in Technology - Cooking we were making crepes. Crepes are thin pancakes, we add some other things inside it too. Our first try was not good but we were able to do it right. We had 2 more lesson so everyone was happy to hear that we have 2 more lessons on cooking.
When we were done cooking it we add some ice cream and other things to make it nice. Also the people in groups of 3 only have 1 and the people in groups of 2 had 1 and a half.
1 cup of plain flower
1/2 of milk
1/2 water
1 tesp vanilla
In the first week of Technology - Cooking we made smooths with ( baby spinach and also some fruits), witch was my favourite. We also had to bring our own container because if we do want to take our food with us, we are able to take them along with us. The other thing was that we weren't allowed to eat until we have cleaned everything. I really have to improve my drying skills. I really enjoyed cooking with my other team mates hopefully I will have cooking again :)
