Hair-pong

Hair-pong

You need!
1 hair dryer, 2 ping pong balls

Methed

We used the tools and the question was can a hair dryer balance 1 ping pong ball and it can because the gravity was trying to push it down but the hair dryer had enough strength to push it up and stay. When we tried to use 2 they keep hitting each other and one fell of.

Science

Write an explanation that explains clearly to the reader

include title and intro that states your topic and maybe asks a question

include a summary statement that links with the introf

Write the body of the text in order using some of the key words - Suggest the sequence of the experiment  clearly - firstly, after that finally.

Include some topic-specific science vocab

Show how the process happens by using continuous present tense?  This will mean using lots of ‘is’ and ‘are’


                                                                                             



What happens when air is heated? Well I can tell you that. Miss Roil told us to make a prediction and we did and I will tell you the answer but not yet. In my paragraphs I will have What you need, What you do, Particles and conclusion.

You will need 2 coke bottle two balloons 1 bucket of hot water and 1 bucket of cold water. You put the balloon on top of the bottle so they can be immersed in the water. Then you are all set to put the bottle in.

You hold and place the bottle in the water. If you put it in hot water (but you might get burnt) the particles will move and the balloon will pump up and when to goes in the cold it starts deflating. You can also avoid getting burnt by putting on some decent gloves.



Particles are moving in the  bottle and forcing their way into the balloon.   They do this when they are heated. Without particles we would not have wind.   Wind is made when the air heats up and starts to move.  The bottle that didn’t heat stayed in a state of inertia.  This means it didn’t change.
If you ever want to do this make sure you have everything you need and have some gloves. Oh and by the way the answer to the question is that the particles in it start to move and it expands.

Flexibility

On Monday we got a box and a piece of wood we tested our Flexibility. Last week on Friday I got positive 5 and to day I got positive 8 and that is better. The main Muscles we are trying to do is our ham strings, Lower  back, Calf and Arms. We did a positive side and a negative side that is 30 cm big. I think that I can make a change in my Flexibility if I keep doing my stretches that we are doing and I should improve each time we do it.

My Egg Drop

How it works


The experiment worked because the gravity pushed the egg in the cupful of water. We put it on a toilet paper roll, plate then a cup full of water. You have to put the toilet paper roll on the the absolute right spot otherwise it will not work but you have to pull it quick because the motion will go good and if you do it slow it will lose its balance and hit the cup or ground.
