Earthworms

Todays topic for science was about earth worms and because it's the last week of term 3 we got to observe some worms. We had watched a video about earth worms and it was taken in britian by a lady named Emma Sherlock and she is the president of the earthworm society and earth worms are her passion.

Number              Length                      Behavious

Worm 1           est: 9cm in length         Very furious 

                        1 cm in width

Worm 2           est: 4.7 in length          Nice & calm

                        1.3cm in width

 Worm 3          est: 5cm in length        Also nice & calm

                        very small can't tell      

This here was my small chart that I did and this was very enjoyable to do 

with my partner and we had learned a lot of things in just this one day with 

Dr. Jannie and Mrs. Sharma even how worms come together and mate.

Plastic 2

 This week for science techngology we kind of did the same thing and also was talking about what enquiry topics we would be doing. For that we would have to like come up on what we are going to investerget and some questions that we'd be asking people to help us out on our project. We had countied from last weeks work and did the codes, but this time we had to write down the codes from largest to the smallest and write down if it can be recyeled or not.

            N.O of items     Comment 

Code 1     4                   Sort of hard, but still easy to squish

Code 2     1                   Harder than the other bottles

Code 3     Nothing        Nothing 

Code 4     4                   It's easy to rip and can be thrown away easily 

Code 5     9                   Harder and would be difficult to break 

Code 6     3                   Able to bend and easy to break 

Code 7     Nothing        Nothing 

Total of items: 21

The majority of plastic in a code:

Code 5 = 9

This type of plastic can't be recyeled and has to be dumped 

Code 1 / Code 4 = both had 4 

This type of plastic can be widly recyeled

Code 6 = 3 

This platic can't be recyeled

Code 2 = 1

This type of plastic can be recyeled

This is how we had to do our work and space it out in our book.

Plastic Ocean

 Today in science technology our topic was about plastic and we got a chance to sort out plastic iteams. 

Method was: 

• Collect plastics over a week or a few days that are used and discarded 
• Count the number of item
• Sort each item under the recycled code
• Count each iteam under the recycled code

We had to get into groups of three and my groups recording was

               N.O of iteams     Comment on the iteams

code 1             10                  It's hard, but still kinda easy to squish

code 2             2                    Harder and not eable to squish

code 3             Nothing         Nothing 

code 4             14                  Some soft and other crispy

code 5              5                   Some are easy to squish and other are hard

code 6              3                   Able to bend 

code 7             Nothing        Nothing 

Total : 34

The things we had recorded was different like for code 1 there were 10 water bottles and then we had to describe it and for me that what I wrote down was it's hard, but still kinda easy to squish. We even had paper to help us out a bit for which rusbbish goes where and even how long it takes to decompose and if it's recyclable.

 

This week is all about Tongan lauaguage week and this morning I had 

kinda made my own Tongan flag, but this I know that all classes will learn 

new things and get to learn more new harder words in Tongan. Even maybe enjoy 

a show of people showing off their dancing skills, singing and getting to eat some 

yummuy Tongan food.
