The science of a pendulum

In our class we have been doing experiments with pendulums there is two of them. here is mine.

How mass affects the swing of a pendulum

Question:

How long does it take to stop swinging depending on its mass.

Aim/Hypothesis:

We think that objects with more mass will go for longer

Results 

This is how long it took for each of the objects to stop singing.

Bottle 2 mins 59 secs . 63

Microphone   2 mins 48 secs . 98

 Blue pen 2 mins 7 secs.40

Highlighter 2 mins 41 secs.19

Conclusion: It is true objects with more mass do swing for longer.

Here is my second one when we did painting with pendulums.

Aim/Hypothesis: 

Our hypothesis was that it was going to be easy to make a pendulum
painting device. Our aim was to make one.

Results:

First we tried using paint but it didn’t work because it was too watery.
So we tried again but the hole was too small. So the paint was to thick
to fit threw the hole or we are just unlucky. We tried to make a bigger hole
and the paint was still to thick. So we tried flour and it didn't go through the
funnel so we gave up.

Conclusion:

In the end our hypothesis was wrong and we didn’t achieve our aim nothing
worked. Maybe next time we could plan more and come up with a better mix.

Work interview

Recently we have been interviewing people in our local community about there work. Today we interviewed Jarred here is my reflection. 

I think that it was interesting learning all the jobs that I didn’t know that he did. I also think that it would have been cool to work for the air force and boring blinking the eyes of the puppet fish on a kids TV show.

Local history

In our class our topic we have been doing local history. For this activity we hat to go to a website find an image and write questions about it.

Fair Trade Ink Sack Art

Fair Trade Ink Sack Art

At school our topic is FIX IT so we have been researching all about Child Labour and Fair Trade. If you don't know what fair trade is it is a company trying to stop Child Labour. We decided to Write some poems on some Fair Trade Sacks. So we looked up some other peoples poems and then we got to choose what type of poem we wanted. Our teacher brought in some Fair Trade Sacks With Some Fair Trade Coffee Beans Left In Them And The Sacks Were From A Fair Trade Restaurant.

We used Indian Ink on our fair trade sacks and I used a stencils to put my art on my sack here is some pictures of mine

Sessions of nutrition

On Tuesday and Wednesday a nutrition came to our class and taught us lot's about our food and what is good for you. On the first day she told us a lot about everyday foods and occasional foods. For the second session the nutrition taught us how to read food labels and how to tell if your food is healthy or not. Then on Thursday We went on a class trip to New world and read real food labels. After we had our lesson we bought some ingredients for smoothies and came back to class
