Fun experiment:)

for reading, we did an experiment about ice and salt, and we had to see if salt would wi,n out of the other powders or substances.  salt won after  1 hour 14 minutes and 36 seconds, jeez that's a long time. 

we had to do a Wondering, Hypothesis, the  Materials we would need, and more.

Question time: do you like experiments, or do you what to be a scientist when you're older?

The aspirin test

For literacy, we made a science experiment with aspirin. We made a hypothesis ( what do you think would happen) then we got to do the experiment. We needed the same size cup and crushed up one of the tablets, then we got some cold water and plopped in the crushed one in first and timed it and we did the same to the other one. I was quite disappointed that it did not froth up that much.

Question time: Have you done this experiment before?

Have a nice day see you soon bye:)

Curious reading

Kia ora bloggers,

When reading a book, have you ever been curious about something you were reading, and wanted to find out more to help you understand what you were reading better?  We have been learning about how important this is this week in Literacy.

When we read The Magic School Bus inside the human body’ I formed some advanced questions using ‘how’ and ‘why’.  I made sure they were open-ended questions that would help me understand the book more.  An example of one of my questions was “Why are intestines coiled up?’ and I then researched and found out that an adult's intestine is 7.5m long, so it needs to coil up so that it fits in the body.

Next, we got to chose our own book to read out of our virtual library and we had to form 3 advanced questions about it.  Ours create task this week was to share these in a creative way.  I chose to do it with Google Drawing and it was about a book called ‘endurance.

I really enjoyed this task as it made me realize how important it is to do this when reading to understand the text better.

Question time: Do you ever do further research when you are reading a book to deepen your understanding? 

(PS Could not put the video on for some reason sorry)
