My science journey 2021

 

At the start of term two we were starting to do Electives.The electives decision was hard because i love Art,kapa haka and science but i said to myself ''lets give science a go''.On our first lesson we were learning around acid and alkaline and we made  bath bombs as the first lesson.Through out the year we have been stretching our neurons and making the challenges harder.This year i have learnt alot like the

.Newtons laws of motion

.acid and alkaline

.molecules/density and polarities 

at the end of term three we dragged the lessons out and carryed  on in term four in term four we were looking around elastic potential energy and made some great boats to race on the school pool.in my team we started off with two people Chase and i  and we called it the flash in the end we did not like it but that Milly- ela joined the group and we called it the typhoon flash.

Coin Drop

 COIN DROP

How can coins, a glass cup and paper help us test Newton's first law of motion?

An object at rest stays at rest and object in motion stays in motion with same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced/outside force.

The law of inertia and gravity work on the coins, the law states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless an opposing force is acted upon it.

Coin drop video 

we were learning about...inertia

i found it hard to...hit it at the right speed

i found it easy to... set up the coin drop

next time i will... us my hand more seriously

Egg Drop

 EGG DROP

today we were learning about inertia Newton first law motion once the egg starts to move it didn't want to stop.The container of water emptied the eggs fall, providing a safe place for the egg to stop

moving so you could recover it unbroken.The gravity-pushed the egg caused the water to splash out and the reason why we did this experiment is because we like to learn about Inertia and the three Newton laws of motion

EQUIPMENT

1 cup of water

water

a flat tray or plate

1 egg

1 cardboard toilet roll

i found it hard to...hit it at the right speed and time

i found it easy to hit it
