SENSATIONAL SCIENCE EXPERIENCE!

On the 19th of September 2013 some students from GlenEagles Secondary Collage in Endeavour Hills came to teach and do some experiments with us.

We got split into a group of 4 then we got started.
First we got to dissect an animals heart and brain. It was pretty disgusting but we got over it. It was really fun because we got to see where all the parts of the heart are and the two people we were buddied up with cut the heart and brain open.

Another thing we did was to make a lava lamp! We got a plastic bottle that was clear so we could see what is happening inside it. Then we filled the bottle up with 1/4 of water then we added as much as red food dye so that the water will go red. Then we added 3/4 of canola oil and a round tablet. Then we waited about 5 seconds and bubbles were coming to the top and it looked so cool!

We also did a few more experiments!

It was one of my best experiences so far this year!

From Gabrielle

This week in class 5P has been learning about….

• The rainforest: What types of animals live in the rainforest.

We had to do a presentation on a South American animal from the Amazon Rainforest. Some were the red titi monkey and emperor tamarin.

It was very exiting doing the task because we knew we were learning about it because our 5P and 5S where skyping a a man named Oliver Steeds who is a famous explorer. He has lived in these remote jungles!

It was very fun. We had learnt lots of things.

Science report
6/8/13 my class and I learnt how to do science report.

Steps of how to make a science report

1. Title
A general title would be a fabulous title to start of with.

2. Opening statement
Use technical language to tell about your title.

3. Series of paragraphs
Use technical Vocab like words that we don’t use for example dog, use canines and use different features of topics such as appearance, diet, habit, adaptation or behaviour

Use topic sentences at the start of to make people believe in your facts

Use facts and detail to prove that someone or something is real.

4. Conclusion
A conclusion is at the end of your report and they are short.

5. Glossary
A glossary is where you have to explain what the book is about.

6. Picture
Add a picture at the end to make people think about what your report is!

Hope this can be handy!

Today in 5P we learnt about a man called Science Bob. We watched a video how he was experimenting on how to make ‘Elephant Toothpaste’. So we watched the video twice so we could write down all our notes and then we went of to make a procedure. My procedure included…

– Aim

– Ingredients

– Materials

– Method

So then once all our notes were down we started on our procedures.

Here is mine…

Aim:
To Make Elephant Toothpaste

Ingredients-
•Hydrogen Peroxide ( Volume 20 )
•Dry Yeast
•Water
•Detergent
•Color
•Funnel ( Optional )

Materials-
Plastic Bottle
Small Sized Cup
Safety Glasses
Coat

Method-
Step 1:-
Put glasses and coat on to protect clothing and eyes
Take bottle and pour 3/4 Hydrogen Peroxide ( H2O2 ).
Next add 1 flat tablespoon Dry Yeast to your small cup.
Now mix 3 tablespoons water with the Yeast and stir slowly.

Step 2:-
Add in a small amount of Dishwashing Detergent.
Next add 3-4 drops of Food Coloring.
Now after you have stirred thoroughly to create a liquid substance,
carefully pour into the bottle and stand back to watch your Elephant Toothpaste Explode.
