Rocket Launch Results

 Rocket Launch Results


Hello Fellow Bloggers.

Lately, we have been making rockets for our class using aerodynamics to help us create them.

Bellow is our work that I have been working on with a group of four others that are called Fletcher, Blake, Ajay and Billy together we went back and reviewed our results to help create it better next time.

Here is our work:

Samoan classroom

Samoan Classroom

Hello Fellow Bloggers.


Since the start of the year, we have been learning Samoan.  This is my virtual classroom where I have put all my learning for you to also learn from.  If you hover over items in my classroom, a hyperlink will pop up for you to click on.

In my classroom you will learn about:

  • Samoa as a country

  • Link to a traditional dance video

  • Basic greetings

  • The alphabet

  • How to count 1-10 

  • Information about Siapo - how it is created, some examples

  • An animation showing a simple conversation in Samoan


I hope you enjoy my classroom and I would really like to know what you enjoyed the most.

Samoan Words

Samoan Words

Hello Fellow Bloggers.

This is my work on Samoan words, this Wednesday we were asked by our teachers to complete an animation that has two animated characters having a conversation on it ( in Samoan ).

Below is the work I have completed for my animation, and it also includes-on the last and second slides some explanations on what these words mean in English.

Please comment if there is anything you think I should work on on the future, thanks :)

Acids and Bases-Science Report

Acids and Bases-Science Report

Hello Fellow Bloggers.
This week I was working on a science report for my literacy group, this science report was on Acids and Bases.
Next time I will try to elaborate further on this subject, so I can form better and more in-depth questions about this subject.

Here is my report:

Acids and Bases

Questions:

Some of my earlier questions were: Why are acids useful? When were acids found? 
When are acids useful? Where would I look if I were looking for acids? Who discovered acids? What are acids? What is the most powerful acid ever? How are acids useful?

Research Summary:

I have Found out from my research that acids produce hydrogen ions, and bases produce hydroxide ions, this is how we can tell which are which, depending on the reaction.

pH levels are a way of measuring the amount of either acid, or bases in a solution, we can tell because the pH levels only go up to fourteen being that if the pH level is under seven it is high in Acid, and if it is higher than seven it is high in Bases.

Hypothesis

Chemical/ Product
Sprite
Ammonia
White Vinegar
Lemon Juice
Alcohol
(64%)
Baking Soda
Hypothesized pH

Materials:

Cabbage Juice, Chemicals/Product, beakers, pipettes, beaker stands, and rubber gloves.

Procedure:

We put the chemicals in the cabbage juice, depending on what the pH levels are, the color it changes into.

Discussion:

The results that I got were nowhere near the hypothesis I set at the start, from my research I answered some of my questions and I am glad to have a further understanding of acids and bases.

It was interesting to find out that ammonia was high in basic content, and that vinegar was also basic, so maybe I will explore deeper into why they are like this, so I can gain further knowledge on the subject of acids and bases.

I have formed more questions on bases and acids and what the different pH levels are, so I would love to explore deeper into this subject so that I can find out more.

Conclusion:

The result of my experiment shows the pH levels (which represent the levels of acid or bases in a substance, which usually is a liquid) I got were not the correct, but very similar to the proper results. I have answered some of my questions with the results I got, I now have new questions about acids and bases that I want to elaborate on for future work.

Thank you for reading and please remember to comment so I can do better next time.

Have you done a science report before?
How did you do this?
