Week 6:
Find a picture of the periodic table. What is it? Why is it divided into different colours? Why would the elements have abbreviations? Find five (5) that you know, write the name, the abbreviation and what it may be used for.

Week 5:
Make sure you work in groups for this experiments so as not to share the equipment.

Week 4:
Try making some Chromatography Flowers:
Use the paper towels from the back room, vivid pens and water. They look so cool. Think about flattening them to put in a frame for a #@#@@!! (You know that swear word that we don't use until December) present for someone you love..
Week 3:
Remember to tip your bowl to put the water into the bowl AWAY from your drawing then slowly flatten the bowl so the water slowly goes under your drawing.
Week 2:
Write this up as an experiment. (See at the bottom of this page)
Draw up a table 4x3. First column NAME; second column 30 sec; third column 60 sec and fourth column 90 sec.
With a partner, count the number of full clicks of a peg in the times stated. DON'T STOP THOUGH - KEEP GOING FOR FULL 90 sec.
One partner does the clicking while the other counts. Record your results, then change places. First pair finished, create a chart to show the whole classes results.
Just arrived from Mrs Muller. If you would like to print and complete then send it from home that would be great. Otherwise, I will have some printed at school for you complete by 30 September.
#12: Draw the lifecycle of a fruit (nectarine, apple, cherry, etc) and beside each write the season that each would be. Remember to draw your pictures using your observational skills.
#11: MY BACKYARD: Do some observational drawings of things in your backyard. Try to draw some from a distance and some very close ups. (I would have to sketch weeds because that is what I grow well. Ha! Ha!!)
#10: Just arrived via email that you might be interested in:
#9: What does viscosity mean? Find out some information on the topic. We will have a viscosity experiment for you to try.
#8: Find out what Newton's Three Laws of Motion are.
USE THIS METHOD TO WRITE UP ANY EXPERIMENTS THAT YOU DO.
Experiment: This is the title that you give your experiment
Aim: What you aim to do in the experiment. Always starts with, “To…..”
Hypothesis: What YOU think will happen in the experiment.
Apparatus: All the equipment that you will use in the experiment and amounts of ingredients if needed.
Method: Step by step account of what you will do or did. Each step is to be numbered.
Results: What actually happened in your experiment. You should draw a diagram or diagrams to show what it looked like. All apparatus is labeled using horizontal lines to match the word with the equipment.
Conclusion: This is the reason WHY your experiment did or didn’t work. This you may have to research and discuss with others. Make sure you explain as fully as possible in your own words. any new scientific language needs to have an explanation/meaning in brackets after it.
Variables: These are things that could be changed and may have an affect on the end result of your experiment. These you may like to try to see if any variable does change the end result and then find out WHY.
Term Two: 2021:
#7: ONLY TO BE DONE IF YOU HAVE COMPLETED ALL YOUR WORK IN OTHER AREAS: https://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/red-cabbage-chemistry/ Watch the above uYou tube video to do this experiment on Acids and Bases.
#6: Draw a diagram to show how the seasons change.
#5: We will be working together to make a frame to hold a lunch box out of marshmallows and sticks. See the pictures on the class BLOG.
The Water Cycle:
#4: Find and write up an experiment to show how the water cycle works.
Term One: 2021:
#3: Beaunolli effect; Beaufort scale:
#2: Complete the classification table with pictures added - either drawn or from your device.
#1: Properties of Matter: Solid, Liquid and Gas. Add five (5) of each to each space.
We are all scientists!!!
