Last week and a few weeks before we conducted our own science experiment. I did my science with my friend Gaby our question was: How do different ingredients effect the sweetness of a Hot Chocolate? We made different drinks with different sweetening agents and gave them to different ages and people. We then got them to rate the sweetness of each drink without them knowing which is which. Here is our scientific method:  Alexis & Gaby's Scientific Method What would you have done your science experiment on?

This term we have been doing some science experiments every Tuesday. So far I have learnt about our heart rates and the water cycle. Here is my water cycle. We learned about evaporation, precipitation, and condensation. Have you heard of the water cycle before?

We have started to do our science this is my science. I am doing my science experiment with Phoebe. Science Question: How does the ratio of Gelatin to the other ingredients affect the marshmallow ? Background Research When you add the gelatin to hot water the powder dissolves and you break the bonds that holds the proteins together. When the gelatin cools down the gelatin powder forms new bonds in the water.      Hypothesis The increase of gelatin the stiffer the marshmallow and the decrease of gelatin the crumblier and stickier the marshmallow will be. My next step for science is writing the method and materials. Have you ever done a science experiment?

This term has been a great and fun term. My highlights of term 1 are: Tech Science Drama Art Banqer ............................................................................................................ Because all of them teach me stuff I didn't know and they do it in a fun way. Like in science I was learning about animal communication and I learnt that bees communicate through dancing and we got to act it out. ............................................................................................................ My low lights  for term 1 are: Honestly  I don't have any that's how good this term has been. ............................................................................................................ My goals for term 2 are... To be confident with speaking to a large group. To improve in my math (eg strategies.) Read at least 7 books in one term at home and/or School. How Has Your Term Been Goin...

Last week I did my presentation on my treasures what I find special to me. The mold in the frame is my hands a feet when I was 3 months old. This is special to me because it reminds me of how small I used to be. The chime that I am holding up is very special to because my Grandma gave it to me and she has sadly passed away. The xray that I am holding up is of my sister when she was in my mum's tummy and this is special to me because I love my sister a lot and if she wasn't born I wouldn't be named after her. What are your family treasures?
