Today we looked at forces. We did an activity with a toy car. steps and slide.

Question: How far will the car go on each different gradient

We tested each step and recorded our data 3 times to get a fair test and to find the average.

We learnt about momentum, gradients, accurate measuring and checking and re-checking. We also learnt how to make a graph on google sheets.

We did science today and we learnt about stink bugs. We got to a magnifying glass and examined the bug, we also learnt about biosecurity. 
Flora means plants and Fauna means animal life.

Today Whaea Carol taught us how to think like a scientist. 

We used a word wall to help us understand the skills we were using. 

Some of our words were: observation, evidence, collaborative, inference, question, justify.

Some of these words we already know, for example, we inference when we are reading.
