Hola bloggers, today we did some softball drills and a game of softball. Some drills we did involved passing, rolling, and catching. When we had to roll the ball we had to put our hands in a scooping position so we could get the ball easily. After some drills we were divided into two teams. Our team were batters we got 6 home runs. The game was really fun.

 

 

That’s all for this blog bloggers. Bye.

Hi bloggers this week and last week we have been writing places in Aotearoa in Maori. Today im going to blog about it.We did this activity to know what these places are in Te Reo Maori. We did many types of places/cities. And here is a picture of the work I did.

 

 

That’s all for today’s blog.

My paper dart experiment

 

Hi scientists, this week we did another cool experiment for you guys to try too. This week our experiment is about paper airplanes/darts. Before we jump in and do the experiment all scientists need to have a hypothesis. In your hypothesis put which size you think will fly the farthest, the small or large one.

 

Before i show my hypothesis I need to include one more thing. Equality and Equity. What are the differences between these two? Equality we give the same amount to each person. We need Equality in science so our results are 100% accurate which is important for good scientists. Equity at the other side is giving an advantage to others because they need it.

 

Ok finally here is my hypothesis.

 

My hypothesis- I think the smaller one will fly farther.

 

Now these are the materials i used.

Materials – A4 paper and A5 paper

 

Method – Here is the video i used to make my paper dart. Its really hard to say the instructions on text so here is the video for the method i used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=qXqCOg_1tQ8  and make sure you stay in the exact position where you throw the two darts so your results will be accurate.

 

Attempt                    Smaller dart                     Bigger dart

1                                      farther

2                                                                                 farther

3                                                                                 farther

 

 

Results – For my experiment the bigger dart flew farther, why?, because I learned that planes with bigger wings fly farther because they can generate more lift.

 

That is all for this blog see you again next week scientists. And don’t forget to have fun with SCIENCE!

Bubble experiment

Hi bloggers, my name is kirsten for science we did this cool experiment on static electricity and bubbles.

But before i tell you what and how to do it here are the equipment we used:

Petri dishes

Water

Bubble solution

Balloon

Zip tie

Now grab your stuff and go to your lab and get ready to be amazed by SCIENCE.

This is the method we used to start our cool experiment (it will get a little messy)

1. Get your water and spread it all over your table or get a container and add the water there
2. Get your petri dish and add some bubble solution in it
3. Loop your zip tie to make a circle so you could blow the bubbles ( and start the fun!)
4. Start blowing your bubbles on to your table or into your container
5. Now rub the balloon fast on your hair but if you don’t have hair you can rub it on wool which is the best material to rub it on (to make static electricity) so the bubble wont pop
6. Now put your balloon close to the bubble (but not too close or the bubble would pop) and look at it if it will move.

So what happened to your experiment? My balloons moved towards the balloon

Why do you think that happened?

I can tell you why.

Because of the static electricity from your hair that went into the balloon.

That’s all for today bloggers have fun and enjoy the magic of SCIENCE.
