FittnessAthon

Today the 30 of may is our fittnessathon where we have to see how many times we can go around the fittness course in 15 minutes and it is very exciting for everyone.

 We have been doing collage picture frames using our picasa photos
and old things that we could glue on our frames we used bark , leaves
, buttons ,acorns , acorn hats, little
stones,pieces of old toy and lots more
bits that we have recycled.

These are some of our frames before we painted them

These are the finished product!

Our pumice wreath

Wind Wand(s)

Our wind wands.

One is made of only pumice, and the other 2 are pumice and drift- wood, from Lake Taupo. Here is a picture of what they look like.

To make them, we needed the help of Mr. Hack to cut the logs in halves. Then we used a power drill to drill a hole for the pole to go through. Then we drilled holes through the pumice and drift-wood and slid them down the pole. We did it again and again until we ran out of it.Then we put them in the native bush as shown above.We learned that we can make funky things from Mother Nature! 

Letters from Hauraki Primary in Auckland

Today another special parcel arrived from our friends at Hauraki School in Auckland.
THANK YOU!!!!!!:)

Egg Vaccum

I wanted to find out what happens when I light a
piece of paper on fire and put it in a glass bottle or a jar and put a boiled egg with no shell on top.
I thought it would suck the egg through the bottle
without me touching it and it did but it did't go all the way through as I hoped it too .The egg gets sucked through because the fire and paper create
a gas vaccum .

My experiment was yeast I was doing my experment  to find out what kind of reaction it would make when I put yeast sugar and warm water togther. You need: yeast sugar warm water spoons and a large bowl. Meathed: put yeast into a large bowl add 1/4 of cup of warm water and 1 tespoon of sugar  then wait for 10 min then you might see bubbles. The bubbles you see are carbon dioxied. The yeast feeds of the yeast wich makes more yeast and more carbon dioxied that is why yeast is used in bread.

My experiment is called Naked Egg. Place egg and vingar in a jar and place in the fridge for 24 hrs.Remove from fridge, tip out vinegar and replace with fresh vinegar. Put in fridge for another 24 hrs.

Remove from fridge and rinse with water. The egg has lost it's shell and is rubbery touch.It has almost

turned clear.

I"m doing the experiment because i want to find out what travels faster, water,vinger,oil or milk.

I predict that the water will travel faster because it is thinner.

My experiment was coke and mentos.
 First i put the mentos in the coke and it caused a recation and the coke went up about 5 cm in the air.

I learnt that the more sugar in coke the more it well go boom. Caleb.

Invisible Ink By Alec

I was trying to find out how the lemon juice reacts to the heat.The lemon juice is acidic and weakens paper.I was right that the lemon juice needed sunlight for 2 hours.When the paper has dryed you need to heat it under a candle or a flame so it turns pale brown and you can read it.The ingredients are lemon or lemon juice,sunlight or heat sauce,a cotten swab and paper.

Tornado of colours -Maxim

My experiment is called tornado of colours,
I wanted to find out what happens when you put dish wasing liquid into milk.

you will need:

1. 2  plates

2.Milk

3.Dish washing liquid

4.Cotton buds

5 food colouring

1Pour enough Milk to cover the bottom of the plate.

2put food colouring into the milk.

3Soak cotton buds in dish washing liquid.

4Dip the cotton bud in the centre of the plate.

There is no need to stir milk-it will immediately start spinning.

What happens is the dish washing liquid mixes with the fat of the milk and starts spinning.

This is me doing my kitchen chemistry that is called Gas it was so cool when the balloon blew up. I made my poster over the weekend and brought it back on Monday. The ingredients were vinegar,baking soda,bottle,balloon and a funnel. It took a long time to find on the internet. Then it took a long time to get organised and bring to school. My vinegar leaked in it's bag with the other ingredients and my mum had to shut the lid on the vinegar. Ashleigh Cridge.

Sam's Volcano

I am going to make  volcano. I  need abottle some baking soda and vinegar.

i think it is going to erupt because there will be a reaction because all the air that is carbon dioxid will push it up.
