Scientific Method!

WALT: What are they? Why are they important?
What is a variable? ... Let's find out!

This term we are learning about Science! For our experiment we are experiencing how long does a burger take to age, the steps are: First step: A question about the experiment, the question has to be about what you want to find out about what is gonna happen, Second step: Is the Hypothesis, Hypothesis is where you think what is gonna happen. Third Step: The equipment, find out what the equipment you would need to do the experiment. Fourth step: The method, explain how you did it or how are you gonna do it. As you can see in the presentation above I had done all of these four steps and now all I have to do is watch and see of how the burger rots.

Testing Practice: Maths

WALT: Highlight the best answer


Last week my maths group and I studied for our test this week, We were given question that would help us in the test, We learnt about fractions, measurements, multiplication and the biggest area. The presentation was meant for our knowledge in the test, So we wouldn´t get stuck on a question. It helped us to improve more in the test and making sure we know what we are doing in the test.

States of Matter!

States of matter

Task

Work on this Doc together with a partner or in a 3.

Give three examples of each state of matter?

Solid	Liquid	Gas
Linked together	Watery	Unseeable
Dense	Flowing	Fumes
Compressed	Runny	Smoke

What’s the difference between the three states of matter?

Solids	Liquids	Gases
Solids are hard	Liquids are water and Runny	Gas is unseeable

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you learned from this reading.

From this reading I learnt that everything and anything around us is made out of Matter. Every single object we see or touch is matter, Matter is atoms and molecules combined. This (matter) is anything that takes up space and has mass.

On the following days we´ve been learning about States of matter, solids and gas are different. The difference between them is: Solid is the hardest of them all, Liquids is the wateriest of them all and Gas is invisible and untouchable compared to Solid and Liquid. Reading about these three things really interested me and told me why it was watery, why it was hard and why it was invisible. 

Reflection of Term 3!

This term is nearly coming to an end, I´ve already made a lot of great memories and will remember them. I´ve accomplished a lot of things this term and hope to accomplish more the next term, it's sad to say that the Yr 8´s will be leaving soon. I´d like to archive more and more the following weeks.

Best memory of the term:

To me, the bestest memory I've had was mixed netball. Experiencing different people playing in my netball was very cool, I had the opportunity to play with my yr 8 friends in the A team. I had a lot of fun playing netball and really excited to play next year, I´ll miss the yr 8s and there ways of cheering me up when I'm down.

I'll be missing the yr 8s, when we laugh in class for no reason at all. One of the funniest moments I've experienced was when we witnessed Petelis pants backwards, we laughed so much that we felt like our heads were falling off.

Working with the yr 8s had really experienced me to do a lot more next year. My goal for next year is to accomplish and achieve more so that I could be more successful in the future. Next year will be my last year at Pt England School, I cant wait for the yr 6s to become yr 7s. So I could be a great example for them. Can't wait for 2017!!

Is Ebola the same as the Black Death?

WALT: Compare and Contrast the differences between two texts


This week we´ve been learning about weather Black death and Ebola are the same or not. To me I think they are not the same, ebola and the black death are similar but they do have a lot of  different things. I´ve learnt a lot of things about Ebola and the black death, they have a lot of different things that were unexpected. If you want to find them out look in the presentation that I have made above.
