Science Badges Part One Building A Bridge Out Of Paper

Today we did science badges and Blake and I had to make this bridge made out of paper and seller tape and down below is what our bridge looked like.

Orana Park 2018

On Tuesday 18th 2018 I And The Year 7's Went To Orana Park And We Had To Create A Doc On What We Leant I Did One Fact For Every Animal I Saw!

2 Kea: I Learnt That A Kea Have 25 Different Facial Expressions And They ARe Allergic To Chocolate!

3 Spider Monkey: I Learnt That The Spider Monkey Curls Its Tail Around Things Like Rope For Extra Balance.

4 Lion’s: I Learnt That Lion’s Are Very Playful Sometimes When The Keepers Aren't Watching.

5 Tasmanian Devils: I Learnt That Tasmanian Devils Can Catch A Face Tumor Know As “DFTD” Which Stands For Devil’s Facial Tumour Disease By Biting One Another.

Ice And Match Experiment

Ice Cold 14 September 2018

I Made A Matchstick Stick To Ice Just Using Salt.

(Not) Challenging Because The Ice Melted On My Computer But Matua Saved My Computer
Because He Swiped His Hand Under The Ice Just Before The Water Hit My Batery

Why It Happened Simply Because


You will need;

• A bowl of cold water
• A matchstick
• An ice cube
• Table salt

Instructions:

1. Place the ice cube carefully in the bowl of cold water
2. Gently place the match lengthwise on top of the ice and try to lift the ice cube
3. Put the matchstick back on the ice and sprinkle a little salt along the line where it touches the ice cube
4. Wait for 30 seconds and then attempt to pick up the ice cube again

What’s the science?

At first, the ice cube and water are in equilibrium meaning that the rate of freezing and melting is the same.

The salt lowers the rate at which the water freezes, so the ice melts faster.

This releases lots of energy in the form of heat, so everything gets colder, including the ice cube. Where there’s no salt (under the match) the ice cube refreezes, freezing the match in place.

Extra for experts:

Why do we sprinkle salt on icy roads?

Because It Dissolves The Ice On The Streets, Roads, And Alleys.

What Is A Common Factor?
