Scientific Experiment Writing

B E G I N N I N G	TITLE	Balloon Hovercraft
	QUESTION	How does a hovercraft hover?
	HYPOTHESIS	I predict that it  will not fly up.

M I D D L E	EQUIPMENT  AND MATERIALS:	Water bottle cap CD Balloon
	PROCEDURE:	Step 1:using a hot glue gun, glue the bottle cap over the CD hole. Step 2: blow up the balloon. When it is fully inflated twist the end so no air comes out. Step 3: Stretch the balloon over the end of the bottle cap. Step 4: open up the cap end. Place the CD on the surface.  Step 5: untwist balloon and let go.
	OBSERVATIONS/RESULTS:	The CD moved around the table. The balloon lost all its air.

E N D

CONCLUSION:

The air from the balloon creates a cushion of moving air between the disc and the CV and reduces the friction across the surface.

STEAM

We made some bugs in makerspace this week. I made my creatures out of wood and other materials.

Bug Hotel

We  made  a bug hotel  for the bugs  to  live  in.  The bug hotel is made out of bamboo and wood  and hay. We made the bug hotel so the bugs can live in the bug hotel and be safe.

Maths,

For maths we have been working in mixed ability groups to solve problems.
The focus has been solving word problems using place value.
We have to select the correct the correct strategy to solve the problem.
I have chosen two problems to show you how I work them out.

I find addition easy.
