Wind experiment

Measuring weather.

Definitions:

1.  Anemometer:
2. Beaufort wind scale:

MATERIALS

4 dishes 

1.   2 sticks
2.   Cellotape
3. Pin  
4.   Pencil (rubber end)
5. Plastic round lids

STEPS

1.   Grab the 2 stick and form them as across the tape them in the middle 
2.   Tape the plastic lids to the sticks (2 on each end)
3.   Put the pin through the middle of the sticks and tape
4.   Grab the pencil and put the pin inside the rubber end of the pencil

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind Manager

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.

• You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	0
2.	Old J block site	7
3.	Grass hill	6
4.	Tennis court gate	2

CONCLUSION:

There was not much wind today so the experiment didn't really work, but we did get a bit of wind on the other side of the school. The ones that had the most spins was Old J block and the Grass hill. The one that had the most spins was the Old J block, the second was the Grass hill and then the Tennis courts. Somehow there was less wind comming from the Field. That means the areas that what surrounded got more wind the field was open spaced which had less wind.

Inferring

Hey, guys today I'm going to put in the slide it will explain what we are doing this week for reading. So go and jump into the slide.

I hope that this was helpful if you have anything to say you can comment so I can have some feedbacks so I can do better.

Changes and Challenges

This week in drama we have been learning about how our body changes. What we are and how and why our body changes once we get older. We have also done a Bio poem as well. Here is my Bio poem that I have done:

What is a slam poetry:

Changes and challenges

Hey, guys so today I'm going to show you a slide and this is going to show you what we had learned this week in drama. This is also a collab with Maia that is in my class.

Haiku- spring

Spring Poem

So for drama, we had to make a haiku poem about spring in groups of 2-3. So I went into a group with Lily and Maia, we had a job to do each. My job was to write down adjective words of spring, Maia's job was finding verbs about spring and Lily's job was finding words of nouns about spring.

So if you don't know what a haiku is it is a poem that has 17 syllables in it. In three lines of five, seven, and five. So then we added the words together to make it as a poem. Here is my poem that I had made:

           
                                              Spring

Pretty, bright, the sky as wonderful as a winter wonderland.

Animals blossom like a flower awakening from an autumn slumber

Sun shines bright like a single star in the night sky.

Here is a drawing that I did at the back of the poem so when my group reads it you can see the drawing of spring and know that it is about spring:

                                

Here is a poem that Lily had made:

Springtime

Sound of birds

Flying high in the sky

What a lovely spring

New science lab

Aim: To learn how to behave in a science laboratory.

Our R9 class treaty:

1. Pay attention
2. Act responsibly around dangerous objects
3. Do not run in the laboratory
4. Put your bag under the desk so people don't fall over it
5. No food or drinks in the laboratory
6. Do not sniff or taste substances 

Safety in a laboratory:

1. Follow the instructions given to you by the teacher
2. You must not enter the laboratory without your shoes
3. Report all breakages to your teacher
4. You must never eat or drink in a laboratory
5.  Shoes must be worn at all times
6. If you spill something you should tell your teacher immediately
7.  You should wash your hands after every practical activity
8. You should know what you are doing. If in doubt ask your teacher
9. Never taste or sniff chemicals

How do we work in the laboratory:

                                          

 100ml Beaker (Used for experiments related by liquid. They have a bung that goes on top)

250 ml conical flask (Use for experiments elated to liquid. Has a bung that goes on top and is fireproof.)

 Spatula (for holding a very small amount of chemical powders) 

                    Test tube tongs (Used to hold hot test tubes)

                    20cm Stirring rod (used to stir and mix any liquids)

Asking questions

Why we ask questions in reading?
So the reason why we ask questions in reading is so that we can know that you can understand the story and that you can explain the story in your own words. 

So for example you had to read a book for a test that you are doing. You get called up by your teacher and he/she will ask you multiple questions. If you get most right they know that you can understand the story and can write it in your own words. 

It would best be good for when you have to buddy with someone and ask them questions about the story. IT can help you for asking questions so that they can answer them then they would understand the story. If you don't know what to ask your in luck.

So if you don't have any idea on what to ask here is 4 things that will help you:
