Photosynthesis:

Since the beginning of jumpstart( Week 5), we've been learning about the web of life. From the C GREN cycle to the food chain, we have spent countless periods learning more about our life. Thankfully, I am grateful for my new class(10RTe is the best class) and also my Science teacher, Mr Stoddard for helping us out these 4 weeks on accomplishing a lot of tasks.

Elephant Toothpaste Experiment

Yesterday, all of Panmure Bridge School took part in the Experiment organised by Mrs Kirkpatrick(All thanks to her). Mrs Kirkpatrick reorganized one of the favorite experiment in her elective. Mrs Davis & Dudding retook the mantle of completing this experiment.  Personally, I liked this experiment because the complex structure/plan going into this experiment. It also told me new facts about Hydrogen Peroxide.

Science Movie

For the past few weeks we have been doing science in groups. After we did all the experiments we had to make a movie in our groups. We used scientific language throughout the movie and we reenacted the experiment with our own props. (We used baking soda for our own effects).

OOBLECK Experiment

Today, my partner & I have worked hard on a DLO on the OOBLECK experiment. It was real fun but also very hard to find photos from the experiment.

Group 1: Baking Soda & Vinegar

Yesterday, group 1 were using baking soda & vinegar to create CO2 by mixing the two elements and turning into a short-lasting flow of bubbles. This was very easy in the way of the steps.

OOBLECK

This week, Group 1 was working on oobleck. We were trying to figure out if oobleck is a solid & liquid. We learn't about Newtonian Liquid(pressure & non). This was a very fun process

1st day of Science

This was the first day of science at Tamaki College. We made a mini moon rover out of cardboard, skewers, glue, straws, etc. We were helped by a group of Tamaki College teachers.

Science technology Roadshow 2013

Science technology Roadshow 2013

On June 11 2013 Mauriora and I had been chosen to go to the fonterra Science technology Roadshow 2013  generally because our teacher only chose 2 people to go from school and end up at Tamaki college who are hosting the show.63 people went,10 were parents and 2 schools went.The first demonstration showed us there,two hosts Andrew and Dave showed us that if you use a smaller area on a big object the pressure will not break for example a egg,you  get a glove.If you try your hardest it can still not break because the force is not  very hard that why the pressure is getting very calm so it won’t break but when you hit it on the side of the bowl it break it because it is a smaller object on a smaller area  the force could easily break it in half. 20 minute later he showed   us amazing thing when you have a vacuum and a beach ball throw up the beach ball start flying it can still in the air because the Bernoulli's principle show people that it will stay on angle for a long because the pressure on keep it flying Daniel Bernoulli wanted to know know how to keep smaller ball in the air.The session  Name was ballons and Bernoulli.Finally it was time to see the exhibit that was my favourite part.Everyone tried all the exhibit. There 18  exhibit all about human performance,materials,metal detector,tricep and bicep,following movement how your body move,animal voice and how to save electricity.
