Projects

   In week one of term three, we started our science projects. I decided to partner with Anjani. The first thing we had to do was choose if we wanted to do a learn it, prove it or teach it. It took us a long time, but we eventually decided n teach it, which meant doing an experiment and explaining the science behind it, by posting videos on you tube. We wanted to do that because we like teaching things. After that, we went online to look at experiments we could do. We had a hard time choosing just two, but we eventually decided on home made lava lamps and home made fluffy slime because they both had fun and science in them.  Since we were going to  make a video on you tube, we had to make a  script of what we were going to say. That probably took us the longest to do out of all the things we had to do, because we were constantly changing the script and taking out or/and adding in new ideas. It took longer  on the first script because we did the fluffy slime scrip before the lava lamp one, so when we moved on to the lava lamp script we copy and pasted the fluffy slime script then took out the fluffy slime stuff and replaced it with lava lamp info. After the script, we got to work on FILMING!!:) That was obviously my favorite part because we actually got to do the experiments, which was really fun. After filming, we had to edit. Anjani did most of the editing because it was on her account, so I did most of the slide show. We made a slide to show our evidence. Over all I think our project went really good, but we still cringed heaps at the presentation when people were watching.  😂

Immersion (Energy)

What I Learnt About Energy During immersion this term we're focusing on energy. I learnt lots of things I didn't know before, like how there is more than one type of energy, and everything contains energy even if it never moves or isn't moving. The different types of energies are: Potential/stored, kinetic, chemical, gravitational. There's also more, but we did not talk about them.  Another thing I learnt is how even when something is not moving, there's still energy moving in it. Even a rock has energy. A rock is always sitting still, so it contains gravitational energy pulling down. If a rock was sitting on a hill doing nothing it would have potentail  energy. if it  rolled  down a hill, the energy would be converted to useful energy.

Book Review

The Bone Sparrow Book Review The bone sparrow is a realistic fiction book set in an Australian refugee camp, full of refugees from  Rohingya. The main character is a nine year old boy name Subhi, who lives in the refugee camp with his mother and fifteen year old sister. They don't know if his dad is alive or not, but they believe hes coming to save them. They live under very harsh treatment and most people die by suicide, starvation or heat stroke. This book is very descriptive and detailed, so some people may find it disturbing. It has a lot of blood and and stuff like that, it is NOT recommended for sensitive people, or people who hate sad stuff. I would say you have to be at least eleven or twelve to read this and understand it. If you love crying, sadness, don't mind disgusting detailed stuff and violence and taking awareness to situations like that this is definitely the book for you!

Immersion Projects  Last week, (Term three, week five,) we started Immersion. For this terms immersion, we were doing projects, and our projects were about issues within the school. I decided to go in the group to stop bullying the animals because I think its really sad and just plain stupid of how most people treat all the animals that come to this school. Since our group was so big, we split off into smaller groups of five. Jorja, Brianna, Anesu, Madeline and I were in a group. First we had to come up with a how might we, then find the main reasons this should be stopped, like the animals can die of fright, Their being forced to find other places to live, etc. Then we had to find possible solutions. So far we have come up with: A speech, a movie, writing a book, doing a play, making a "duck area" Although were not really sure what that would be, and making posters which is one of my favorites because I think they bring awareness and I love designing!
