Should we be prepared for a natural disaster?

 Today my writing class has been learning about persuasive writing, I had to state if I was for or against the topic I am for the topic because I do think that you need to be prepared for a natural disaster I have tried to state that in my introduction.

I found it easy to plan out my persuasive writing because I know how to make paragraphs.

I found it hard to think of words that will persuasive the people reading this.

I enjoyed learning about  how to persuasive  people when you write.

Next time I will make my writing stuck out more to more people so when they read they will like it more.

Balloon Madness.

 Today in science we are learning about Newton's three laws of motion and for the Experiment Mrs Bava fullend up a bit of a Balloon and then fullend up the drink bottle with vinegar Mrs Bava then put the Balloon over the bottle top  and put the baking soda into the bottle causing a reaction that fizzed up the vinegar an made the Balloon start to get bigger.

When vinegar and baking soda mix, an endothermic reaction occurs. This produces carbon dioxide which inflates the balloon. The endothermic chemical reaction will also lower the temperature in the area surrounding the vinegar and baking soda so significantly that you will be able to easily notice the change in temperature.  

        I found it easy to notice and observe was happening to the Balloon.


        I found it hard to understand why the Balloon fills up with the chemicals.

        I enjoyed  seeing the reaction from the vinegar as it started to fizz up.   

Next time I will try find of  why this reaction is happening.

Image Poetry

Today we have learned about writing poetry and how to personify objects which was very interesting and was something I hadn't done that much before so it was fun to learn about it I also really like finding new ways to write and describe.

I found it easy to put the words in order and put the commas in the right places.

I found it hard to not use the same words to describe different words because the words couldn't be the same. 

I enjoyed thinking about the things in the image to write about.

Next time I will make the paragraphs a bit bigger and use more describing words.

Quick Write

 Today my class did a quick write were you only got a certain amount of time to write a story about some made up thing, we were given the sentence starter that was "as I peered inside I" and we had to write on about our made up story which was really fun to write and think about I also think I did a good job on this but I can always improve on my writing.

I found it easy to think about what I would write about and how I would write it.

I found it hard to find words that I could use to describe the words I use because I didn't know that much words that I could spell and that were good. 

I enjoyed posting it to the slides because I get to add images and decrationing the slides. 

Next time I will add more paragraphs to my writing.

Milk Explosion

 Today in Science my group did an experiment were we got milk, food colouring and a cotton bud, we put the cotton bud into soap and then we drop three colours of food dye into the milk after we did that we put the tip of the cotton bud into the milk and the colours move in all directions away from the cotton bud. After a long time of doing that the colours mixed into an emerald green.

The secret of the bursting colors is in the chemistry of that tiny drop of soap. Like other oils, milk fat is a non-polar molecule and that means it doesn’t dissolve in water. When soap is mixed in, however, the non-polar (hydrophobic) portion of micelles (molecular soap structures in solution) break up and collect the non-polar fat molecules. Then the polar surface of the micelle (hydrophilic) connects to a polar water molecule with the fat held inside the soap micelle. Thanks to the soap connection, literally, the non-polar fat can then be carried by the polar water. This is when the fun begins.

I found it easy to get the stuff we need to use for the experiment like the cotton bud and the soap my group got the rest of the things we needed.

I found it hard to know who was doing what in my group I didn't what we were doing that much in my group because this was my first time being in my real group so we didn't know each other.

I enjoyed putting in the cotton bud because it was so fun and cool seeing the colours burst into each other.

Next time I will let someone else have the first turn because I think they will enjoy it too.
