Project - task 1

One of my tasks for my project was to write an illustrated article about three extinct animals and explain why they are extinct. For this task I had to research extinct animals and picked out three animals I was going to write about. I choose the Javan tiger, The great auk and the dodo. I then researched why they were extinct and when they were extinct. I found it difficult because there wasn't much information. But I when I read different websites I found the right information. When I found the right information I wrote it in my own words and added pictures in to make it more interesting.

 

Projects - getting started

On Monday the 24th of July we all gathered around and talked about the projects we were going to do. We had a range of options you could either learn it, prove it or teach it. In those areas were options of what you could do. For an example if you wanted to do a prove it you could do a science badge or a science fair project. I decided to do a science badge on zoology. A science badge is when you choose your badge that you are going to work on for your project whether it is zoology or marine biology in those badges are activities. Each activity is worth one, two or three stars. Once you have completed a activity you have to get it signed off with your learning adviser. You have to get at least 20 stars to earn you badge. When the science badges arrived with all the activities. I had to choose activities that will earn me 20 stars. Once I knew what activities i was doing I listed them onto a google doc.

Projects - fitness

Last term we got into groups for projects. Our main two focuses were in fair trade and fitness  my groups idea was to stop laziness from happening all the time. We brain stormed ideas and created a how might we... Our how might we was how might we develop a plan for HPPS in order to become active and fit. Once we knew what we were doing. we created a google slide and researched about what types of fitness you could be doing. We also made fitness cards for people that want to use it. during projects I learned that it is important to exercise because if you don't exercise it could lead to a sickness. We also recorded our heart rates before and after. I found it hard to test the fitness cards because it was very tiring and hard because some of them were lower than the before time. Our celebrations were that we finished the project in time and we got things done.  

stain removal- immersion

Today for immersion we were trying to use different substance like (lemons, vinegar and different types of detergents.) To remove grass stains, mud stains, and food colouring stains. We got into groups of four and decided on what stain we are going to have. And what things we are going to use to clean it with. We chose to use food colouring for the stain and lemons, detergent and vinegar to remove the stains. Before we tested them out we all wrote a hypothesis, my hypothesis is that vinegar will work the best. Then we tested them out. We cut out three small pieces of fabric. And squeezed four drops of food colouring on the piece of fabric. And smeared the detergent on the fabric and ran it under the tap. and it ended up working. There were only a few small stains that you could hardly see. Then we tested the vinegar and it worked again. There were only a few stains. Then we tested out the lemon and it was the same but a few more stains. Still appeared on the piece of fabric. My hypothesis was wrong turns out detergent works the best and vinegar was the second best.
