Getting it together would help make it better
We liked the comedy/entertainment
We didn't like that we couldn't retry it
What we could have done better: Timing
What we did good: Have fun!
We liked the entertainment.
We disliked the time limit.
*We have one group whose video is not completed yet, but will be shown soon!
The man is explaining what it looks like when you mix colours, like red and green, and blue and green.
Blue, green, red, yellow,white ,purple.They are taking some colours away to make different colours. I like it they are funny.

Today in class, we were working on our EXPERIMENTS. We Were doing research within our booklets that got handed out to us a few days ago. BOOKLET: for our experiments that we are working on, we have a booklet helping guide us a bit through our free rein experiment. There are 21 pages total in the booklet. the booklet consists of information helping us plan our experiment, and saferty tips also. There are questions that we have to work on inside of the textbook, all relating to our experiment.
EXPERIMENT:In my other blog post, I talked about my experiment idea and plan. This booklet has helped me word my question differently, and also told me about the dangers within my project. My new question is: What is the effect of temperature on the buoyancy of tin foil? The subject of the question is buoyancy. Also i have made a hypothesis on my question. My hypothesis is: I think that temperature will effedt the buoyancy of tin foil.
REASEARCH: In the booklet, it has a few questions helping us do some reasearch on our topic. We must find books, and websites on our topics. Also we must talk to people about our topics and make some points about it. We had to find the problem with our question before we could do research. My problem was: I do not know the effect of temperature on tin foil's buoyancy.
Tin Foil Boat In Water (Accessed on February 14th, 2014)
Explanation: Well in our sceince class, we are doing a experiment involving either Pressure, Buoyancy, and Viscosity. We must figure out a question to ask about either one of these topics (or all) and make an experiment to answer the question. So the student would think of a question, set up an experiment, and answer the question. After the student was done, they would communicate their results, and share the answer to their question. The students may choose to work alone, or in partner pairs of two. our time period for this experiment is about two to three weeks.(School days.) MY IDEA: My question I am going to ask is, "Does the temperature of the fluid affect the buoyancy of an object?" I would boil some water in a pot, bring it to a boil, and make a tin foil boat to put inside the pot. After the water has come to a boil, I would take it off the element and put my tin foil boat iinto the water, seeing if the temperature does or does not affect buoyancy. Also I would have two other pots, one with cold water, and the other with room temperature water. I would have two more tin foil boats inside those pots to see if the boat is buoyant in other temperatures also. Of course, this is just my brainstorming and the "Idea" I have is just an idea, and could quite possibly be changed. NEEDS/DETAILED PROCEDURE:Well, first I would need three pots, access to water, a cloth, (To put under the hot pot) a element, and tin foil for my tin foil boats, a timer, and a measuring cup. I would start my experiment off by putting one pot full of water onto a element to boil. After putting th efist pot to boil, i would fill the second pot with cold water, and the third with warm water. As i would wait for my water to boil, I would start carefully making my three tin foil boats. My water would probably be done boiling, so I woud lay my cloth down, and put my boiling water-filled pot on top of the cloth. I would put all three of my pots close together and put my tin foil boats inside. I would have a timer near me just in case my tin foil boats sink or float. I will time how long the stat afloat or how long it took to sink if it sunk. I would have also measured out the amount of water put into each pot, making sure it was even. After that, I would write down the answer to my question, and write my results on a paper. My experiment is quite short, so I wouldn't need much class time to actually do the experiment.
COMUNICATION:We haven't talked about the communication of our results in total detail, but we did have a discussion. We will be doing something quite similiar to a "Science Fair" Where we will show off our Q&A experiments.
We are working on our heart diagrams. So far most groups have gotten to making their good copy on big poster paper. There are supposed to be two hearts, that are exactly the same size, butshowingexteriorandinterior. To make the first part of the heart to be almost exactly the same size as the second, we have to cut out our first heart and trace it. After we finish drawing the hearts, we are suppose to label them and alo colour them.We got some pictures to look off for when we draw our hearts, to help us get an idea of what a heart actually looks like.
ABSTRACT:Ever wonder just how fast your perfume travels?
We
did an experiment to see how long it would take for perfume to travel from one
table to another. My guess was that it would take five minutes to travel from
table to table. Turns out, J-Lo’s perfume travels fast! How long do YOU think
it would take for perfume to travel six meters and 69 centimeters?
Procedure: To start off, Mrs. Thompson brought
some perfume to the class. She faces diagonally to the door and squirted the
bottle twice. As she squirted, Landen set his iPhone timer. Instantly, Ethan
smelt the perfume and raised his hand. Soon after, more and more students
started lifting their hands. After about one minute after the two squirts, I
smelt the perfume and lifted my hand. After about another minute, Jade and
Landen lifted their hands, and the timer stopped. It took two minutes and three
seconds for Jade and Landen to smell the perfume. After the experiment, almost
everyone left the room because the scent of the perfume was very strong!
Data:The results were that it took
two minutes and three seconds for perfume to travel six meters and 69
centimeters. To be exact, for two squirts of perfume.
Conclusion:Although my estimate of five minutes
was very wrong, and the real answer was two minutes and three seconds, this was
fun. I thought that the perfume particles would have taken longer to go from
the high concentration areas, to the low ones and that’s why I guessed five
minutes. I learned that perfume actually travels quite fast! Also I learned
more about diffusion! This experiment taught me that diffusion is when a
substance spreads around and kind of takes over the area! Also now we know that
perfume can really stink up the place!

Today in Science class, I made up my own cell. My cell is a "Cancer resistant cell." :)
There was a question that Mrs. Thompson asked me when I made it, and the question was,
"Why is it Cancer Resistant?"
I made a paragraph about my cell and why it is "Cancer resistant."
Well first of all, if the membrane in cell the was bigger, it would be better protection from any cancerous cells. In the case that any cancerous cells got inside these cells, there would be more vacuoles which would be better waste removal. (cancer cells) If the cancer cells were still inside these cells, well the more vacuoles could store the cancer cells away so they do not spread to any other cells! More cytoplasm in these cells would make more oxygen for people just in case they are having trouble breathing IF they had cancer. These cells would have more endoplasmic reticulum so the cancerous cells could move out of the cells waaayyy faster than with just little endoplasmic reticulum. (IF there were cancerous cells.) Also if there was more mitochondria, people with cancer would have a lot more energy. A bigger nucleus in these cells would overall give better control for the cells.
This is a tumour forming in a cell.

-Made of cells
There are two types of cells, Unicellular and Multicellular. Unicellular means when an organism is made up of only one cell. Multicellular means when an organism is made up of two or more cells.
-Organized in a pattern
Organisms are kind of like onions, because they have many layers.
-Multicellular organisms
-organ systems
-organs
-tissues
-cells
-organelle
-molecule
-atom
-Uses energy
There are two different types of energy. There is Chemical Energy and Light Energy. Chemical Energy is used by animals and humans, while Light Energy is used by plants.
-Homeostasis
The inside of you stays the same, no matter what's happening around you. When its cold outside, your body reacts by shivering. When it is hot out, your body reacts by sweating.
-Growth and develop
The cells grow and get bigger, and as the organisms grows, more cells grow too. You develop and get specialized.(like organs)
-Geproduction
There are two types of reproduction. Asexual, and sexual. For Asexual, you only need one parent, while as in sexual, you need two parents!
