Video All Stars

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.

Science Olmpics

Yesterday my class went to the science Olympics in Glenella, grades 4-8.

The first activity we decided to do at the Science Olympics was blow up balloons and wet the tips of skewers and try to stick the skewers in the balloon at each ends without popping the balloons. we wet the tips of the skewers with dish soap.

The seconds activity we did was well we tried to change the temperature in a barrel from hot to cold. We had a little bit of water in the barrel and it went over a heater which made it really hot and then we put the barrel in a little kitty pool using two pieces of wood so they wouldn't burn their hands. Then quickly they had to add some snow and water from the field since it was really cold. It didn't work so we tried a second time later in the afternoon but that didn't work either.

The third activity was build race cars out of blocks of wood, 4 nails & plastic wheels. We used other things like markers and stickers to design it then they gave us  play dough so we can make it heavier in various places to make it faster to win the races.

The last activity we did was building bridges out of toothpicks and marshmallows. When we were finished building the bridges we got to test them on the height and stability.

MATHLETE FRIDAY! :)

TRY THIS NET! ITS A OCTAGONAL PYRAMID!

here is a video on tutorials on nets:

Bioluminescence

For science we are learning a new unit called Optics yesterday we watched a Bill Bye video about Optics to introduce us. Today we are learning about Bioluminescence a subject in our Optics unit. We are going to watch a video, and do some questions response on it. We are going to watch it once to just process the information and the second time we are going to answer the questions on our papers.

End of Unit Project

In math we been working on the unit 'Linear Equations'. For out end of the unit project we got the choices to show our project in a blog post, music video, original song, poster or other. For my project I decided to do a blog post.

Bradley will give out one piece of candy for each person that attends his sleep over. There are no extra candy because he know how many guys are attending his sleep over. Let 'y' represent the amount of candy Bradley has to hand out.

when I did my word problem I had to correctly get a equation from it and then change it around to make it look weird and solve it myself. Before I did this I made a Cartesian plane because it was easier to make the problem and equation. for my Cartesian plane I had to make a table of values.

equation: y = 1x + 0
equation changed around: +0 = y + 1x
When I did this I had to solve my equation that was changed around.

Something vogue

In science class we finished experiments, information and data for our science projects. Now we are working on our displays to present our experiments. In our booklet it says we need to have...

• Name of project
• Reason for the project, your question and what you want to find out
• A prediction that you make of the results before conducting the experiment.
• A report of your research on the subject
• Maybe a list of the books you read and websites you used, Also you should list your interviews.
• Materials like list of supplies needed for the experiment
• Procedure like the steps or directions that you used to conduct the experiment
• Variables like the parts of the experiment that will stay the same and the what will be tested to get the results
• conclusion like telling what happened, did it work? were you right about the hypothesis? What did you learn?
• Explain how your experiment relates to the real world to give others better understanding
• pictures and more pictures

Now im going to give you a couple design examples to give you help..

Immune System - Diseases Project

Today we are finishing our projects in the Immune System. We are finishing our research so it can get approved by our teacher. Me and my partner Gabrielle is doing Leukaemia. We are partnered into groups and we each have our own Diseases were researching. I picked Leukaemia because i wanted to learn a little bit more about cancer and teach others what i know.

 So basically we have to put our projects in our own words and make sure its not right of wikipedia or something like that. When we think were finish finding all of out research me go to our teacher and she approves of our work. If there are any big words we have to make sure we understand them. We are suppose to add a you tube video to our project. Just so our video could do a little bit of explaining.


We had to get links and titles and what year the information was from and for pictures. For me it felt like ages when we had to copy down all the information. In our own words we had define what leukaemia was in 50 words. We had to tell what it our disease effected and what the side effects are. We had to write what could prevent us from getting the disease. If there are any treatments and how would you find out if you had the disease. We had to list five interesting facts about the disease and just find a you tube video. That's what we had to do for our information. When we found all the information we had to pick a choice of presenting it. Gabrielle and I picked a power point, and some other students pick to present wit poster paper.

This is basically what the information paper looked like.

Lab report

Sniff, Sniff hooray

Abstract    Ladies! Have you ever wondered how long it took that beautiful smelling perfume to get across the room? Well my classmates and I tested this experiment. We discovered the time it took, and we want to share it with you. Before we go any further can you guess how long it took?

Procedure    First Mrs. Thompson sprayed two squirts of perfume from one desk to another as you can see on my diagram at the bottom of the page. You can see how we started and finished.  We all waited until we could smell it, when we smelled it we had to raise our hands. It went into different directions, on my opinion I found it odd how everyone smelled it first. Before we sprayed the perfume we set a timer. We set the timer to report how long it took to get from start to finish. When we did our experiment it was a great success.

Data    When we tested he experiment we got a total of two minutes and three seconds. That’s how long it took to get the perfume to the finish line.

Conclusion    When Mrs. Thompson sprayed the bottle and the scent let loose that was the best part. After Mrs. Thompson sprayed the perfume we all waited like puppy does trying to get the first sniff of air. When we finished our experiment we all left to get some fresh air. We left the class room like we were getting evacuated because of a fire drill. Before we did the experiment I guessed a total of 55 seconds but I was wrong, and off but it didn’t matter because it was just a guess. Overall it was very fun, and I think you should try it to.

Aboriginal Perspective

Unit rewiew (cells and systems)

We did a unit review in science, in what we leaned so far, we only took two points of notes.
Another perspective on life is Canada's first nations perspective and that's centred on the medicine wheel.

• Centred around idea of balance
• Harmony between mental emotion, physical, and spiritual components.

Second, we went over Medicine wheel and what it was, and what it was for. we are working on making are own medicine wheels.
