Things That Fly

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics

Definition:
The action or process of flying through the air.

4 Forces of flight
1 Thrust
2 Lift
3 Drag
4 Weight

In your groups of 3 you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behaviour.
In groups of 3 you will make a water rocket and record its distance and behaviour. 



Plane Type
Distance
Behaviour
Normal
1.6
Curved
Ailerons
2Straight
Paper clip
2.3Straight

Conclusion: The normal paper plane flew 1.6 meters and cured. 
The ailerons/flaps plane flew 2 and went straight.
The plane with the paper clip went 2.3 and flew straight.

Balloon chemistry


Aim: To see which chemical 
mix creates the most gas.

Hypothesis: (What do I think will happen)
I think that all the gas will create a chemical and it reacts into a gas called helium.  


Conclusion:

What I have found out from making the gas's is that the salt gas/reaction to it. It doesn't work.    

Materials:

  1. Bottles
  2. Balloon 
  3. Soda water
  4. Salt
  5. Baking soda
  6. Vinegar
Steps:
  1.  Put baking soda in one balloon 
  2.  Then put vinegar in the bottle
  3.  Pour the baking soda into the bottle
  4.  Put vinegar in a bottle  
  5.  Put the salt in
  6.  Put the balloon on the neck of the bottle

Rainbow Paper Science experiment


Rainbow Paper

Aim To separate colours by using the process of chromatography.

Materials 
Water based felt pens
Filter paper
Plastic cup
Water
Pencil
Ruler

Steps
1. Get in a group of 2 or 3
2. Get some filter paper
3. Get water based felt pens
4. Draw two dots on the filter paper with pencil and use a ruler
5. Then draw the dots with the pens
6. Get a plastic cup
7. Fill the cup with water
8. Set the paper in the cup 

Conclusion
What have I learnt from this experiment?

I learnt that when you put colours on a filter paper and soak it in water the colour go's to the other side and makes a rainbow.
I learnt that the colour on the paper travels at different speeds 
I also found out you can figure out DNA fingerprints/footprints.
I found that you can use the paper to figure out who forgery that wasn't that person.

Change & Challenges

On Tuesday in drama the two class's went to the drama room and played some games 

We played

Tequila
Freeze frame
16 steps

We learnt about the 4 aspects of Hauora

  1. Spiritual well-being
  2. Social well-being
  3. Physical well-being
  4. Mental and emotional well-being

Kitchen Science

Home Chemistry: Introduction
Aim: To learn the names of 10 household chemicals, their elements, and
reactions with other substances.
Equipment:
1. Soap
2. Lemon Juice
3. Salt
4. Sugar
5. Vinegar
6. Milk
7. Onion Gas
8. Bleach
9. Baking Soda
10. Lemonade
Task 1: Put the chemicals in a chart with the titles: Name, Chemical ingredients, Image,
Solid/Liquid/Gas.

My task was to make this chart and put the Name, Chemical ingredients, Image, 

Solid/Liquid/Gas.

Conclusion
What I found out was the chemical ingredients for all of the equipment.
