Science 😃

At the end of term two in Te Ngahere we started doing science project for the science fair. My science group was Imogen, Talashia and Kaitlin. Our science project is to try to find metallic iron in cereals. Before we could carry out our experiment we made a google form for student voice asked what there favourite cereal was. We picked the top five favourite cereal to test they were Nutrigrain, Weetbix, Coco pops and Milo cereal. Once we have got all the cereals we are going to crunch them up and put a magnet in to see if any the cereal moves. Our next step would be to add water to the cereals  and do the same thing as we did with the non watered cereals. If the cereal moves that means there is a trace of metallic iron in it. One we have done the test we are going to make a board explaining our science. I will post some photos of the experiment once we finish.😃

Paper rocket

In Te Ngahere we have been making paper rockets. We were learning about making paper rockets so we could learn more about the scientific method for the science fair we are doing. We were in buddies. You had to make the rocket from a video. Then you had to test it 10 times each and record your data. After you had recorded all the data then you need to make the rocket but with some sort of modification. Our modification was to give our rocket more fins. When you had modified the rocket you had to test your modified one 10 times each and record the data. Once you had recorded all your data, you had to use the data to make a graph for each set of data. Our hypothesis was that the modified one would fly better but we were wrong the one with no modifications flew better. My buddy and I have completed both our rockets and here are the photos and data.
