Innovation Day – Reflection

Over the past month or so, the whole school has been working on our innovation day projects. From February, to march, we have all been working tirelessly to complete our projects, waiting anxiously for the day to come. Eventually we all presented our projects to the judges and the winners received the medals. Now, after innovation day, we have been tasked to reflect on our innovation day projects.

Here is a picture of my project

Without any further ado, here is my reflection. Personally, I felt that I worked quite a bit while in school to contribute to my project, but I found myself with not enough time to work on it outside of school. On the weekend before innovation day, I spent a lot of time really preparing for innovation day. With all that in place, I had finally finished my project. I think I could have worked more outside of school and in result have done more. Despite that, I think that I have done pretty well in innovation day. In conclusion, I wished that I could have done more, but I feel like I got a pretty good amount of work done. Thank you for reading.

Innovation day – Reflection

For my innovation day project I decided to make a cup-in-ball game which was powered by electrical currents. Making the game was stressful for me though because I didn’t manage my time as well as I should have.  That’s one thing I wish I did better at. However when i was researching, i found that i was really productive, especially when in a quiet calm distraction free environment. I also realized I work better when I’m at school, rather than at home. Another thing i learnt about myself is i do my best work when i’m motivated so another thing to note when doing work/projects. So now that I know these things about myself I can be much more productive. That’s all, thanks for reading.

Rocks and minerals

Hello! Today I’m doing a blog post on rocks and minerals.

I’m going to be telling you about:

Basalt…

Marble…

And slate

So let’s get started with:

Basalt

Basalt is an igneous rock. Igneous rocks are natural rocks that come from the earth. In this case, basalt is 90% of the earth!

Let’s move on to:

Marble

Marble is a metamorphic rock. A metamorphic rock is a rock that can only form when sedimentary rocks or igneous rocks are heated. marble comes in many forms. some people like the rock just as it is, and others want counters or flooring.

 

Now finally…

Slate

Just like marble, slate is metamorphic. People want slate for tiles, flooring, and even roofing.

 

Thank you for reading my blog make sure to read the next one!

My science project- flagpole

Hi! My science project is the flagpole.

My pulley system is a fixed pulley. A fixed pulley is a pulley that stays still while moving an object:

Here is my sketch of a fixed pulley:

My hypothesis:

I think it will be strong and so that if I make a mistake, it will be broken.

My procedure:

  1. I made the flagpole
  2. I made 4 walls
  3. I painted
  4. I made decorations
  5. I made some furniture.

here are my Results:

Finally, my conclusion

 

 

Thanks for reading see you next time.💗💙

 

 

 

The tuning fork experiment

Howdy! It’s me again. Kitkat. This is a blog about my science experiment called the tuning fork.

Here are the materials:

  • a cup
  • tape
  • salt
  • tuning fork

You put to take the tape on the cup and put salt on the cup. then you hit the tuning fork on your shoe and hit it on the salt.

To change it to water

Remove the salt and tape and fill the cup with water. Here is my video:

Kitkat’s science blog!

I am writing a blog post about transparent light.

Here are 3 facts I learned about transparent light:

  • transparent is a fancy word for see-through.
  • an example of a transparent object is a window
  • another example is a plastic bag

 

In class, we did an experiment to investigate this topic. The experiment was called transparent translucent opaque

Now I will explain what we did:

We made some sort of window with construction paper (opaque), some tissue paper (translucent), and see-through wrap (transparent).

Here is a picture of my experiment:
