Homeroom 8GB

This week Mrs Gibson gave us a challenge it was the 100 words challenge. I gave it a shot. It was about a mysterious creature in the dark forest. Here is my story

Terry was walking through the forest. Then all of a sudden something black ran past really fast. Terry didn't really get to see what it was until he saw a black figure behind a tree. He merged closer and closer till the mysterious figure disappeared from the tree and took him to a dead person. Then Terry went to grab his phone it wasn't there he said “ I dropped my phone somewhere “ he ran back and found it. He called the ambo and when the ambo got there the black figure sucked the life out of all of them.

method:
1. 1/2 fill a petri dish with water
2. carefully place 4 differently coloured skittles evenly spaced around the outside of the petri dish

hypothesis: I think that all the colours are gonna go into the middle then they will mix to a different colour

scientific reasoning:
the skittles are made wit sugar and and food colour. As the sugar dissolve the food colouring move over the water with sugar until it cannot move  any further because of the other colour

Limerick

My Limerick 

My scooter has bar

My bars are made from Mars

My clamp is used for a ramp

My ramp is at camp 

I go faster then some cars


We had to make a limarick. My topic for my limerick is about scootering because I ride my scooter everyday. So I thought to use scootering for my topic. The way the Limerick works is the first 2 sentences rime the the second 2 sentences rhymes and the last sentence rhymes with the first two sentences.

Aim: To see if coke explodes when a Mentos lolly is dropped into it using different temperatures and different kinds of coke.

Hypothesis: 

Steve Spangler Mentos & Coke Experiment

We can do better: We need to try several experiements to see which one works best

Equipment:

Ruler

Beaker

Thermometer

Coke Mentos

Measuring flask

Method:

Stage 1: ( All groups)

1. Add 150ml of coke to a measuring flask
2. Place the flask in the sink.
3. Drop in 1 mentos a watch the effect.

Stage 2: 

Group 1
Test 1

1. Heat up 50ml in a beaker of coke ( Using a thermometer heat it to 75 degrees)
2. Place the beaker ion the sink and add a mentos.

Test 2

1. Add 50 ml of cold diet coke to a beaker
2. Add 5 mentos.
3. Record the hieght it reachs

Group 2
Test 1

1. Heat up 50ml in a beaker of coke ( Using a thermometer heat it to 45 degrees)
2. Place the beaker ion the sink and add a mentos.

Test 2

1. Add 50 ml of cold diet coke to a beaker
2. Add 5 mentos.
3. Record the hieght it reach

Group 3
Test 1

1. Heat up 50ml in a beaker of coke ( Using a thermometer heat it to 30 degrees)
2. Place the beaker ion the sink and add a mentos.

Test 2

1. Add 50 ml of cold diet coke to a beaker
2. Add 5 mentos.
3. Record the height it reach

Group 4
Test 1

1. Heat up 50ml in a beaker of coke ( Using a thermometer heat it to 15 degrees)
2. Place the beaker ion the sink and add a mentos.

Test 2

1. Add 50 ml of cold diet coke to a beaker
2. Add 5 mentos.
3. Record the height it reach

Findings:

Add your measurements to the table

Liquid	Height
Coke	48 cm
crushed mentos	did not do anything
Coke Zero	44 cm
75 Degrees
45 Degrees
30 Degrees
15 Degrees

More investigations:

1. Does it work better with hot Coke( group) , warm Coke ( group) or cold Coke?( group)
2. Use Diet , Normal and Coke zero.
3. Does crushed Mentos work better than whole Mentos?( group) 

Conclusion:

Orana park wildlife trip

On Monday we wet to Oran wildlife park. The reason we went was because we are learning about hauora. Hauora is about body growth. So we went to Orana park because the animals were growing and the in structures told us how they were growing. The animals we seen were lions, Tigers, kiwis, Gecos, frogs, Birds and lots of other animals. My favourite part was when I got to see the gorillas because they are so big.
