Pummice

What is Pumice? Pumice is a type of rock that forms when lava hits water. There is no time for crystallization and that's why pumice floats on water.

How does it form from volcanoes? The holes are actually gas bubbles that were trapped in the rock during the rapid cooling of a gas-rich frothy magma. The material cools so quickly that atoms in the melt are not able to arrange themselves into a crystalline structure.

What are its properties? Pumice, called pumicite in its powdered or dust form, is a volcanic rock that consists of highly vesicular rough textured volcanic glass, which may or may not contain crystals. It is typically light colored.

How is it like Hockey Pokey? It is like Hockey Pokey because it cools quickly and the bubbles inside the hockey pokey are like the bubbles trapped inside the rock

How did we make it, and get it foamy? We made the Hockey Pokey foamy by adding a teaspoon of baking soda. 

Cooking Souvlaki Wraps

In home economics, we cooked souvlakis. We had a rough start but we started to get used to the pressure of working fast and we had different tasks to do for our selves to make it faster.

The souvlakis turn out great and I really liked it because I put the right amount of salt and pepper on them and it really made it taste great.

Women Should Not be allowed In The Army

Women should not be allowed in the army 

Am I for or Against Against 

 Organizing Ideas: 

For

• Some women are strong and independent 
• Some women want to be in the army as if it was their dream
• Women know how to treat people
• They can help by being a medic 

Against

• They can get pressured too much and have a mental breakdown 
• They don't know how to fight unless they are trained
• Can get mad easily 

Organizing the Ideas

• They can help with the medical task but they can't help with the physical tasks
• Some women can go to the front lines if they are trained properly and if they can handle it
• Some women prefer being in the back, Therefore they can help with the medical tasks.
• They can help but if they are too stressed, some of them would have a mental break down. 

_________________________________________________________________________________

In our history, some women who are brave enough would go and join the army to help the medics. Some would join because they neede more people in the medic. Some would join for the money and getting paid and some would join because they got forced too. In our history, Women are known as great medics and they seem to have a lot of knowledge about taking care of wounds

In World War 1 and World War 2, Women would have been forced to join the army because of the lack of the medics they have and they need more to take care of the men that have wounds. After their job is done, some would stay because they liked how they were getting treated and they also like getting paid. Some would leave because they would get too pressured and they think that it was too hard to work in an environment where they would see men everywhere with wounds. Some of them would get disgusted by the blood if they are not used to seeing blood. 

Overall, Women are great medics and even today, As of today, they still use women to help and treat the wounds of soldiers that have been hit. Why women you may ask? They choose women because women have great sensing and they are known for taking good care of you and they are not that reckless as boys. Even in video games, you would see women in the campsite taking care of wounded soldiers. 

Am I for or against in my topic? I am against because women can achieve greater things than men, not by physical but mentally. They have higher skill than us boys when it comes to thinking. Women can also take care of people better than men. They are nicer and their patience is way longer than a man's patience.

Egg Drop Challenge

Our design was a card board box filled with foam, cushioning and bubble wrap. We wrapped the egg around with bubble wrap and this helped with the impact. We also tied Plastic at the back of our box to slow the speed down and create more drag and also make it more air resistance.

Natural Environment

Argument:Bees are the most important creatures on earth. 

Organising ideas:

For:

• Bees help our crops to grow and without bees, Our crops would take a longer time to grow and they will not set properly without the bees help.
• Bees also give us honey that we can use for all sort of things. Bee honey can be used for putting it in drinks, Putting it on your face and you can also use it to put on your food. 
• Bees need pollen to get honey and we can help bees get pollen by planting flowers that have a lot of pollen in them such as a sunflower for example. 
• Bees growing rates are suddenly dropping

Against: 

• Without pollen Bees won't be able to get honey.
• Bees can sting you and it can hurt very badly 
• Bees can be a problem if you gave a bee hive near your house. This can be a problem because if they feel like their queen is in danger, then they will swarm you and attack you.

Bees are one of the most important creatures on earth without a doubt. Bees help our homemade crops to grow faster and healthier, and without bees, Our crops would take longer to set and it wouldn't set properly without the bees help. Bees also give us honey that we can use for multiple things. We can use a bees honey by putting it in our drinks to make it healthier such as putting honey with tea or putting honey with coffee. We can also use honey by putting it in our food to make our food taste better. We can also use honey by putting it in our faces to keep our faces healthy and slick looking. 

In order for bees to create honey, they first need to find a flower that has pollen in it. Once they found a flower that is rich with pollen, Then they would eat the pollen and they would start to generate honey. Pollen is not the only food they eat. They also eat nectar to help them regenerate honey. Pollen and nectar is a bees favourite food. Without flowers, bees would not be able to generate honey because they can't create honey without pollen or nectars. Bees mostly likes smelly and colourful flowers, In my opinion the type of flowers that bees really like are sunflowers. Sunflowers are rich with pollen and bees are really attracted to them once they smell it. How do I know this? I know this because last year in our garden, my mom planted sunflower seeds and when they got bigger, I noticed that a lot of bees would land at the flower and start getting pollen. 

There is a big problem about bees right now. Scientists have found that bees growing rate is suddenly dropping and they do not know why it is happening and what is the cause of it. scientists are researching for in depth information about why bees rates are dropping.

Home Eco Pizza

Last Friday, We cooked pizza. My team struggled at the start but once we got into it and focused, We started to work well together and we had different tasks for each other. Two people would grab the ingredients and the other two would cut the fruit and vegetables.

Outcome:
My pizza outcome was great. It tasted nicely and the I put a lot of meat, cheese and pineapple on mine which made it taste great and our dough also tasted nicely. It didn't taste too sweet and it didn't taste too plain.
