Today we did an experiment on chocolate. First I put it on my tongue and it dissolved like a marshmallow in a fire. Soon it was gone. My was 1:30 mins. Then rules began, I put another one in my mouth and minutes went by but it sat there. I learnt that heat and friction makes it dissolve quicker.

Mac

Today we did an experiment about solubility. We had two chocolate buttons. First I put on of the chocolate buttons on my tongue and I could suck on it, rub it on the roof of my mouth and after it had dissolved we could chew it. It quickly dissolved in 4.7 mins. Then after we finished that we got the other chocolate button but this time we couldn’t

Jack

Today we experimented on solubility. First we did it so that the chocolate button touched the top of our mouth. The button was on our tongue. We sucked it slightly. We timed it and my time was 3:15 mins. The second time we didn’t let it touch the top of the mouth. My time was 4:28 mins. I learnt that heat and friction assisted in solubility.

Annika

Today we conducted an experiment on a chocolate button. The fiction makes things soluble. I don’t know why I’m saying this but that chocolate was so good, let’s get back to the experiment it ok. The chocolate was driving me crazy but I had to fight it. I learnt that heat and friction assist in solubility.

Emma

Today we conducted an experiment about solubility. So first we got a chocolate button and put it on our tongues. This time we were able to use friction and that meant we are able to rub our tongues at the top of our mouths. My time was 1:41 mins but when we had no friction it is another story. This time my time was 3:41 mins, it was as slippery as a wet rock in my mouth. I learnt that heat and friction causes things to dissolve quickly.

Paige

Today we conducted as experiment on soluble by putting chocolate buttons in our mouths. We were allowed to do anything we wanted. My time was 1:30 mins to dissolve because I was rubbing it against the roof of my mouth so both together the chocolate had more heat so it melted faster. The second time we didn’t do anything, we just left it on our tongue. My time was 4:03 mins because it didn’t have much heat to dissolve and half way through I really wanted to eat it so I did. I learnt that heat and friction assisted in solubility.

Molly

The friction from the roof of our mouth and tongue dissolveded the solid into a liquid in the first experiment. There was no friction in the second challenge so the solid chocolate didn’t melt into liquid so quickly. I learnt that heat and friction assists in in solubility.

Daniel

Today we tested an experiment on soluble objects. They were yummy but it was hard. The experiment was on friction. First we put one chocolate button in our mouth and we could do anything with it. Second we put one more piece of chocolate in our mouth, it was too hard because we couldn’t suck at it or chew it or it couldn’t touch the roof of our mouth. The first one took me 3:11 mins, the second one took me 3:38 mins. I learnt that chocolate buttons disovle fast when you rub them on the roof of your mouth.

Camels

How does a hump work?

A hump is what camels store water in so they can walk across the desert for six months without drinking any water or food. WOW! Camels are amazing because their humps will shrink and flop when empty but when the water and food supply increases it will turn into fat and the humps will be strong again. There are two types of camel, one hump camel is called a Dromedary and a two hump camel is called Bactrian.

Annika

Camels can survive 6 months without food or water. When there is food or water the hump will shrink and slop until you fill it. Camels can drink 113 litres in 13 minutes. There are two types of camels, one has one hump called the Dromedary, the other camel has two humps and is called a Bactrian the camels also have humps to confuse their driver.

Paige

They can drink up to 113 litres in 13 minutes. They store containers of fat in their hump and they can survive 6 months without food or water, that is awesome. There are Bactrian types of camels and they have two humps. The Dromedary has one hump. Their humps will shrink and flop all around the place when they are empty and it needs food and water straight away.

Katie

Camels can survive 6 months without water and food. The humps will flop when it is empty and they can drink up to 113 litres of water. Babies get humps when they start eating. Water is converted to fat to help the camel live in the desert.

Mac

A camel uses it’s hump to survive through long trips in the desert. Its like a storage container full of fat. The camel drinks water which gets converted into fat then it gets stored in its hump. When the hump is empty it will strink and flop. It will grow to normal shape again when supply increases. Camels can drink up to 113 litres in 13 minutes and can survive for 6 months without food or water, WOW that’s half a year. The Dromedery camel has one hump and the Bactrian camels have two humps.

My Lego deep sea is an under water
exploration team of divers and submarines
they look for treasure under water deep
down at the bottom of the Ocean

for sunken ships that Carried gold across the wide
Ocean once found brung to the deep sea Vessel
it will be returned to the Docks

it will be taken to a proper
cargo ship and take it across the wide ocean too
where needs to be that's the end of the day for deep sea

My teddy

7 years old
born in 2008
orange with a white t shirt
Light brown eyes

sleeps with me in my bed
I got you from hospital when I was born
He keeps me extremely warm wil I'm in bed
His name is orangey.

Been to
Twizl
Hamstring
Golding bay
Napier

He makes me feel happy
when I am sad
He's my best friend
I will always have
