MY DREAM HOUSE!

Today for CIP we were going to go to the garden but it was raining so we had little activities to do. 

Here are the activities we had to do.

I picked to use TinkerCad to create a 3D model of your dream house and Garden. Use google to get some inspiration for your house.

It was my first time using TinkerCad and it was really hard to make a house, you would want to make it the way in discrible the real you and this is what my dream house turned out to be.


I choose the colour of my house because I like those colours and it suits together. Why I did this layout because it was really easy to make and I tried to make a 2 story house but I didn't know what shapes to use so I did a 1 story house, but I hope one day you could make your own dream house like I did today and I hope you like what I created.

Wind Power- Science

Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

Definitions:

Typhoon means: Typhoon is a tropical storm that is really strong in indian or western Pacific oceans. 

Monsoon means: Monsoon is a seasonal prevailling wind and the season of the southwest monsoon in India and adjacent areas that is characterized by very heavy rainfall. 

Anemometer means: Anemometer is an instrument for measuring the speed of the wind, or of any current of gas.

Beaufort wind scale: Beaufort wind scale is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or no land.

MATERIALS 

1. 2 Sticks  
2.  Four cups
3. Pencil  
4. Pin 
5. Cellotape
6. Sticky Note
7. Scissors.

STEPs

1.  Get all of your materials from the teacher.   
2.  Tape the 2 stick together into a cross
3.  Tape the 4 cups to the end of the sticks  
4.  Put the pin into the middle of the 2 sticks  
5.  pin the pencil together
6.  Put your sticky note onto one of the 4 cups

Group Investigation.

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 time keeper 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	20
2.	Old J Block site	15
3.	Grass hill in quad	10
4.	Tennis Court gate	3

CONCLUSION:

This week in Science we have been focusing on Wind power. Wind power is how the wind is so powerful that can break anything like for a example it can break cars and window and also there are different kinds of powerful winds. One of them are Typhoon, Typhoon is a tropical storm that is really strong in indian or western Pacific oceans. For science we had to be in a group of 5 and in my group was Anneleise, Bailey, Janel and Khaylanie and then all of us had to make a Anemometer.

On the Field there are 80 spins per minute,13-20 wind speed and 3 beautfort scale. In the old J block there are 60 spins per a mintue, 51-61 wind spped and 7 beautfort scale. On the Grass hill there are 40 spins per a mintue, 40-50 wind speed and 6 beautfort scale. On the Tennis court gate are 12 spins per a mintue, 6-12 wind speed and 2 beautfort scale. In my conclusion the field has the highest spins.

Highlight about my Holidays

For the Holidays we had 2 weeks off from school. Here are my Highlight that I did in the Holidays.

For the first week of the holiday,

I went to my cousin house, My cousin name is Ayla, she is 17 and she related on my mum side because her mum and my mum are sisters so that makes us 1 cousins. Ayla remind me of my big sister Chelsea because they acts the same and they look simple. when I hangout with her, it makes me feel like I'm hangout with my big sister. Chelsea I got at Ayla's house at 11.00am and I didn't leave till 7.30pm, so I had 9 hours and 30 mintue with her. 

What we did was we walk down to the dairy and got food and a drink, then for the rest of the hours we hangout and talk about life and what was going on in my life. Ayla is a person that you can talk to you and she would understand everything and give you advice, like I can talk to her about anything and she tells me about what's about on in her life and the drama that she has at school but I had so much fun with her and I hope I could do it again.

For the second week of the holiday, 

I went to get my hair dyed for my birthday because when your 13 you get to get your hair dyed, so seen Chelsea got her hair dyed for her 13 birthday, I wanted too. I got the same desgin and dyed as her because I thought it will look really good in my hair. I thought my hair was really boreing with just brown in there so I wanted to add a colour into it. My hair took so long it took 2 hours and 30 mintues but my first experiments was really good and I am so happy that I did that for my early birthday persent. 

Birthday Sleepover ,

My birthday is on the 21st of October and I'm going to have a sleepover birthay party with 2 of my friends and my cousin. I am intiving Anneleise, Mikayla and my cousin jean. We are going to bowling and having dinner there and there we are going to watch movie at my house and have lots of fun, but I am not that excited because my sister isn't here to celebrate with me but I hope I do have a good birthday. 

What Is White Powder?

Today you will be a Forensic Chemist. 

A bag of white powder has been confiscated by the airport customs.  You need to find out what white powder it is?

Aim: To learn about the makeup of different white powders.

There are  a number of different white powders in our everyday life. Some of these are harmful and others are not. Test the four white powders listed to see which one has been found at the airport.

Here are some examples of everyday kitchen white powders.

Flour, Cornflour, Sugar, Salt, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Icing Sugar, Tartaric Acid

Citric Acid, Gluten Free flour

You will be given a small amount of 4 white powders on your cardboard. On the black cardboard using a magnifying glass look at the powders.

Look at them under your magnifying glass and record what you see. 

These are the four powders we will be using. Upload a photo of each powder. 

1.  Cornflour
2.  Baking Soda
3.  Salt
4.  Sugar 

Before you add the iodine, vinegar or water you will need to divide each powder into 3.

Materials

1.  Iodine
2.  Vinegar
3.  Water
4.  Pipette
5.  Cardboard
6.  Pen


Steps

1.  Fold cardboard in 4
2.   Write in each of the boxes on the card what white powder will go there.
3.  Put all of you're whie powder on the card.
4.  Divide the 4 white powder into 3 piles.
5.  Put Iodine but only do 3 drop but just put it in one pile in each white powder.
6. Put vinegar but only do 3 drop but just put it in one pile in each white powder.

Findings:

	Sugar	Salt	Baking Soda	Cornflour
Appearance	It changed into different colour.	Didn't do anything.	It changed into a werid colour.	It changed into colour.
Texture	It went stiff	It didn't really feel like anything just the nomarl salt.	It didn't really feel like anything just the nomarl baking soda.	Stiff and hard.
Smell	Didn't have a smell.	Didn't have a smell .	It smells werid.	Smells bad.
Iodine	Changed colour.	It turned yellow.	Changed into a colour.	It went hard and turned back.
Water	Didn't do anything.	Didn't do anything.	Didn't do anything.	It rolled off cornflour.
Vinegar	When we drop it, it started turning into a bubble.	Just made a gray stain.	Once you drop it in it blows up a bubble.	No reaction.

Write a paragraph about your findings.

Today is my forth exiperment i did today. I just realise that baking soda can dissolves into a bubble but only if you put vinegar and I think that was really cool how it turn into bubble because it was so satisfying to watch. I have two photo that meaning about this experiment. This is probably my favoutive experiment I have done seen I have been going to science. What i learnt was lodine can stain your clothes and I didn't know it was a thing. 

Hope you enjoy and i will be posting all of these kind of blog post like this. 

My Holiday Story.

Every Wednesday I go for netball training, I go to the same place I go to play netball. We have to trained because so our netball skills improve but if you don't go to training you don't get a full game, you only get a half game so that means you only get to play 2 or 3 quarters.

Every Saturday I play a netball game at the netball courts. I started my first netball game for this season last Saturday. I was really excited to play netball this season because I have a really good team and I knew some people in my team. I was talking to my mum about the netball game today and I said,"I am going to try my hardest today and be the best I can be".

Saturday was a really busy day for me because I had to watch my sister Michaela play netball at 9:00 and then when her game finished, we went to my other sister Emma game but she was playing league.

3:00…
When it was 3:00 I had to go to the netball courts for my game. I got really frustrated because my game was in the afternoon.

We versed Belfast and I saw my cousin was in that team, it was so awkward. I played my first game and I was playing goalkeeper for the whole game. I actually played the best netball game I have ever played because I got lots and lots of intercept and my mum was very very proud of me.  
 The netball game had finished and we played only 4 quarters every game we play. Unfortunately, we lost. The scores were 14/10 and my mum was doing the scores. We had to shake their hands at the end and then it was time for the coaches to announce the player of the day.

The player of the day was…
ME!

Everyone was so proud of me and I was proud of myself too.
