Science Fair Reflection

 Kia Ora, in Te Ngahere we have been doing Science Fair non stop. For the Science Fair we got to choose our own group and I chose Anika and Marley. For our science experiment we wanted to find out what washing powder will wash chilli sauce, red paint and mud the most. What I learnt from this is what a independent variable is, dependent variable and controlled variable. I also learnt how write a method, manage your time and to think about who you choose to do the Science Fair with. This was a difficult experience because I’ve never done before and I found quit a few things difficult. I found that when someone in your group is away you need help, I also found writing the method, writing variables and testing your experiment was difficult. What I would do next time we do the science fair is choose the right people to do it with and choose a different experiment. The four hoe we have in Paihia School is Tu Maia which is resilience, Kaha which is being strong, Manaakitanga which is respect and Whanaungatanga which is helping each other. Out of those four hoe I used Kaha and Tu Maia because sometimes we would want give up because we were in the pit but in the end we finished and got it done.

Exploring The World Of Science

Kia ora bloggers last week in Te Ngahere we went to Bay Of Islands College (BOIC) because there was a science roadshow happening there. We had to go and sit down in the hall and wait for the first show to happen. Then we saw two scientists that were going to talk to us and show us about the different types of gases. After that we had to go into groups of three of any kind and go explore the amazing science experiments. There was a really interesting science project it had a chair on one side and a skeleton on the other side. There was this window that separated them both and the skeleton reflected on the chair. My favorite experiment was were you had a torch and a white board and you were covered by a blanket. You used the torch to write on the white board it was really awesome.

An Amazing Scientific Method

Kia ora bloggers,

Last week and this week we made a DLO about the steps of a Scientific Method. We were learning this because we made an infographic of the steps of the scientific method and because the science fair is coming up. From what I have learnt I will ask more questions and test before I do something if I’m not sure. What I think I did well was that the DLO I made was very good for my standard. What I think I could do better is try and make my DLO more tempting to read and look more appealing to the eye. What I learnt from this experiment is that hypothesis is like a guess or prediction, modify means change something, observe means gather information.  

Have you learnt the scientific method before?
