Topic 7
Task 1.
Photosynthesis=food
Co2+H2o=sunlight
Ingredients
Sugar+o2
Roots absorbs water
Parts of Plant.
Roots
Stem
Leaf
Flower
Phloem is a special type of cell that helps to distribute food/sugar to different parts of the plant.
Stomata are tiny pores on leaves help
To absorb Co2.
Task 2.
Celery and Food Colour Experiment.
See water movement from roots to the leaves the leaves through.Xylem
Supplies for Experiment:
Celery
Pika (cup)
Plastic Bag
Food colouring.
Method.
Filled a Conical Flask to 200 mls of water,then you add food colouring of your choice.Then you get Celery and cut the bottom of the celery with scissors.Then you but It in the water and ster.Next step you but a Plastic bag over it and tie it.
After 40minutes we cut it open to see the result.Topic 6
Task 1
Learning Goal and Outcome
Share your experiences and knowledge about bubbles
Understand the science of bubbles
Prepare bubble-making liquid and try out a range of bubble-making challenges
Be able to speak about the above.
Wand
Pocket of air
It has 3 layers in a bubble
You need soap to make bubbles
Bubbles pop when touch
3 Bubbles Challenge
Bubble Caterpillar
Cube Shape Bubbles
Carousel Bubble
Task 2:
Prepare bubble-making liquid following a tried-and-true recipe
Equipment:
a set of scales
250ml beaker
a calibrated syringe
a stirring rod
Ingredients:
table sugar
glycerol
kitchen detergent
Water
Method (what to do):
Fill the 250 ml beaker half full, that is, measure 125 mls water.
Weigh 5 grams of sugar, stir into the water until the sugar is dissolved.
Measure 3 mls of glycerol - add to the water solution.
Measure 10 mls detergent - add to the water solution.
Stir the contents in the beaker so all ingredients are thoroughly mixed through.
Outcome:
It was hard i had to blow light on the wand to make a good bubble.
Topic 5
Task 1.
Your Learning Goal and Outcome
Know the parts of the flower and what functions(what they do and why)of each part
Be able to dissect a flower,arrange its parts and collate on an information sheet.
Complete a scientific diagram of a flower.
Be able to speak above the above
Your thoughts about the flower
What you have noticed about flowers
What you know
Draw a cross sections of a flower
Task 2:
Aim:
To carefully dissect a Hibiscus flower and bud to identify collate the flower and bud parts.
Method:
First We took 2 pedals of the flower, got a knife and did a straight cut down the middle.Then seed the inner part of the flower.
Topic 4:
Task 1:
Float: Light,Fly,on the surface of water.
Sink: Heavy, goes down,
Semi Float: Float and sink at same time.
What makes something float or sink?
Buoyancy: Float/sink.
Buoyant:Floats
Positively Buoyant.
Density:
The amount of Mass something has,relative to its volume.
Archimedes Principle:
Basketball has air so it can float.
Rolling ball has Mass so it will sink.
Task 2:
Float or Sink- Buoyancy Experiments
Aim or Purpose: Predict and test the buoyancy of objects
Equipment:
A variety of balls
Marbles- large and small size
Golf ball
Table Tennis Ball
Tennis Ball
Name of Object | Size-cms L-W-D | Weight | Composition | Prediction | Result |
Tennis Ball | 21cm | 63.07 | Fabric | Float | |
Marball | 5cm | 2.29 | Glass | sink | |
Table Tennis | 21.3cm | 2.30 | Glastic | Float | |
Golf Ball | 15cm | 35.15 | Rubber | sink | |
Medium Marball | 5.5 | 15.33 | Glass | sink | |
Wood plank | 10cm | 20.18 | Wood | sink | |
Wood cube | 1cm | 0.46 | Wood | Semi Float | |
Small cube | 1cm | 0.46 | Wood | Float | |
Medium Sqaure | 14cm | 111.73 | Wood | Semi Float | |
Foam | 7cm | 0.42 | Foam | Float | |
Cube | 3.7 | 8.78 | Plastic | Semi Float | |
So at our first day of tech we learnt many new facts about science, like for I learnt the's 5 new science words.

How do Planes Fly?
The plane is 500 tones
Thrust (Geeps the plane moving forward)
Lift (Geeps the plane up)
Drag (is the force that slows the plane down)
When all of these steps are down that is how a plane flys.
