Water Cycle- Science

Last week in week 6, my class and Ds has been focusing on Climate Change in Science. We did a experiment about the weather cycle and I was in a group with Sierra and Rowina. We had to get a zip lock bag and draw the weather cycle on it and add some couple of ingredients in the bag and hang it up on the glass window where there is sun shining.

Here is a screenshot of my template with the materials and steps on it:

Title	Experiment 1 and Experiment 2:  Weather Cycle
Purpose	To understand the Water Cycle
Materials	Experiment 1: 1x Zip lock bag 1x Vivid pen 2x strips of Double sided tape ½ a cup of water 2x drops of blue food colouring 1x Scissors Experiment 2: 1x Zip lock bag 1x vivid pen 2x strips of double sided tape ½ a cup of water 2x drops of blue food colouring 1x Scissors 1x teaspoon of baking powder 1x Litmus paper  1x Soda water
Steps	Experiment 1: Step 1: Grab your Zip lock bag. Step 2: Grab a vivid pen. Step 3: Draw the water cycle on the zip lock bag with the vivid. Step 4: Get the 2x of the strip double tape.  Step 5: Stick the tape on the top below the zip and at the bottom of the bag. Step 6: Carefully add ½ a cup of warm water and 2x drops of blue food colouring into the bag. Step 7: Close the zip lock bag and give it to the teacher to stick on the glass window where there is sun shining on.   Experiment 2 steps: Step 1: Grab your zip lock bag Step 2: Grab a vivid pen Step 3: Draw the water cycle on the zip lock bag with the vivid. Step 4: Get the 2x of the strip double tape.  Step 5: Stick the tape on the top below the zip and at the bottom of the bag. Step 6: Carefully add ½ a cup of warm water and soda water into the bag. Step 7: Add 2x drops of blue food colouring into the bag. Step 8: Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder into the bag Step 9: Close the zip lock bag with the litmus paper at the tip of the zip and give it to the teacher to stick on the glass window where there is sun shining on.
Conclusion	I think the outcome of experiment 1 is going to look the same because it’s only blue food colouring in water.  I think the outcome of experiment 2 is going to probably change because you have added baking powder into the water with the blue food colouring and also used the litmus paper in there to see if it has changed colour.   What happened:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	2	1
Amount of Water	2	1
Acidity	1	1

For bag 1 it did a small amount of the water cycle and it also had a small amount of water.

For bag 2 the water cycle was no change at all and the water didn't change. 

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Conclusion:

The normal water cycle did have a little movement through the cycle and the water stayed the same.

The water cycle with acid didn't do anything to the litmus paper and the water stayed the same as well.

Reflect about P.E- Term 2

Throught out Term 3, we have been doing Beep test, Dodgeball, Maths about how long the field is. I will be talking about Beep test l and how you do it. Beep test is really simarly but it gets really fast. Beep test is a running activity, for the beep test I got up to level 4 stage 2 and I was really tried after it. The beep test is a really fast running activity, first you have to run in the middle of the beep sound and then it will go faster and faster. It's say you're level and stage when it go's. 

Dogeball rules are: 

1. 2 teams start by standing on the bench

2. Run in on whistle to collect the ball

3. Rest back to green line before you throw it 

4. You get out by being hit on the full (no bonces) with a dogeball

5. You can also get someone out by catching their ball on the full

6. When you get out you move to the opposite end of the gym

7. To get back in your team, hate has to throw you the ball and you catch it or hit the bball hoop

8. No face shots

9. Be honest

Is our teamwork improving?- My team that i'm in, my team doesn't listen and there is always only two in my team doing all the work and that is me and Sierra. The only thing that my team is doing well is talking to each other kindly,. My team could work on by listening and always communicating.

Hows your fitness level?- My fitnees level is getting way better like it was last year. I think i'm fitness level is good because everyday I do netball training every wednesday and iIplay I netball game every saturday. 

  

Filtration-Science

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1.  Cleaning 
2.  Kettle
3.  Pool
4. Heat pump

Materials

1. Cups

2. Filter papaer 

3. Funnel 

4. Sand 

5. Water Bottle 

6. Rocks

7.  Container

8.

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Cut the bottle with the scissorns to make a funnel.

Step 2

Put the top half upside down and place it into the bottom half of the bottle.

STEP 3

Add layers of sand and pebbels into the funnel and then put it in the top half of the bottle.

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water 

STEP 5

Pour dirty water into the funnel with the sand and rocks in it.

Findings

When we added the dirty water into the funnel, the dirty water went very fast and our was a fail. The water at the botton was very dirty and muddy with all the little peices and the rocks.

Conclusion: This experiement I did today was probably my least favourite one because we had to touch lots of disgusting pieces and dirty water. The water the flowed through the fitler was clear with a green tinge. The bark,soil and leaves sat on top of the rocks. I learnt something that is interesting was how to make a fitler, I reckon next time for me I should put the rocks carefully into the funnel because all of the water went staright down. I hope you enjoy and I will be posting a lot of experiment that you would be exited to do and I hope you learnt something off me.
