Welcome to my very own blog for learning. I look forward to sharing my learning with teachers, my school, my family and friends anywhere.

How the Earth was made

YouTube clip on how the earth was made 

• 4.5 billions ago the sun was surrounded by gas and dust 
•

• minerals stick together to make rock

then the earth melted into a big ball of lava

the heavier material sank to the core 

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• the lighter material floated to the surface 
• Every piece of meteorites has a little drop of water inside 
• over 100's of millions of years the ocean was made by all the meteorites hitting the earth  
• The life was made by a chemicals called amino acid
• the amino acid replicate themselves to make protein
• after that the amino acid turn themselves into DNA
• after the DNA was made and now they turn themselves into a bacteria
• bacteria used the poisonous gases to make and release oxygen gas into the early atmosphere

Hands on Fire

Aim: I want to safely be able to set my hands on fire.


Equipment:
Water

Detergent
Lighter
Safety Glasses


Method:

1. wear safety glasses
2. Wet your hands. wrists and forearms.
3. Grab a scoop of bubbles.
4. Hold the bubbles up in front of your face, as far away from you as you can.
5. Too get rid of the fire, SLOWLY move your hands a part.
6. DO NOT DROP YOUR HANDS BELOW YOUR EYE LEVEL because fire goes up and you will set yourself on fire.

Walking in Straight Line

Aim: I want to find out if we need to use our senses to walk in a straight line.

Hypothesis: I predict that if you don't have your senses ( sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch) then you cant walk in a straight line.

Equipment:

1. Blindfold to stop us from seeing 

2. Cotton wool to stop us from hearing and smelling

3. Bucket for our head to stop the wind

Method: I am going to attempt to walk in 200m straight line to a stake in the ground.

Put some cotton wool up your nose to stop yourself from smelling that lovely baking smell that will help you with your direction.

Results+ Recount

When I started walking in a straight line I ended up going left because I didn't see,smell,hear or touch anything.  It feels weird having 2 cottons up your nose and inside your ears. When the bucket was in my head i couldn't see a single thing all i can see is black and a little bit of sunlight in my face. I couldn't hear a thing too because the cottons in my ear is blocking the sound and  i couldn't even hear my friends giggling.





This is what i look like having a bucket in my head.

Burning Magnesium

Aim: I want to find out what happens when I burn Magnesium.



Hypothesis:
I predict that the Magnesium will give off blue flames.


Equipment:
Bunsen Burner
Magnesium
Scissor  Tongs
Safety Glasses
Method:

1. Get your equipment
2. Light the Bunsen Burner
3. Hold the magnesium in the blue flame with the scissor tongs
Results:


We burned a strip of solid grey Magnesium metal in the blue flame of a Bunsen burner and it shined with a bright white light for about 10 second. When it stopped burning, a white powder was left.


Discussion:

When magnesium burns, it is actually reacting with oxygen in the air and not with fire. Fire is what we call the heat and light produced when things burn. Magnesium reacts with oxygen to make a compound called magnesium oxide. The bright light results because this reaction produces a lot of heat.

Conclusion: My hypothesis was the magnesium gonna give off blue flames. I was wrong it maked a white and shiny light.

Writing a Scientific Report

Aim:
This is what i want to find out

Hypothesis: (High poth ee sis)
This is an educated guess.

Equipment:
This is a list of the materials i need

Method
These are step-by-step instructions


Results:
These are my observations(what i can see, smell, feel, hear, taste)
I need to do my results in a table.
Also, I need to do a graph.
Discussion:
These where I explain the results and I answer the question"Why?"

conclusion:
This is where i say if my hypothesis was correct.

Evaluation: This is a reflection on what went wrong and what I could have done better.
