Day: June 12, 2015

This week we started a new topic about living things. we talked about  classification (this means grouping) we sorted our selves into  groups by eye colour, age, attached ear lobes  and tongue rolling.

 Did you know?

Miss dale has attached ear lobes and she can roll her tongue!

I have un attached ear lobes and I can roll my tongue !

we also looked at variables (this means differences)

we are undertaking seed growing experiments with variables such as  light/dark, wet/dry, hot/cold, soil/no soil, fertilizer/non-fertilizer.

I chose my variable as wet/dry.

I used two paper towels placed 20 seeds on each

I collected 25 mls of water for one  towel.

I used fertilizer on both towels.

I predict that the towel that is wet towel will grow.

Today we were doing cress experiments as part of our topic on variables. I predicted for my experiment that the cold water would make cress grow faster than if it was watered with boiling water.

Hamish is now officially an author on the Holywood blog!!

Good to have to in the team Hamish!!

Miss Dale

today we done a variable experiment mine was height and light I put my cup of 20 seeds on top of a really tall book shelf that is big as me holding my hand up.in my words my prediction it will grow a little bit because it won’t get enough air.

We at HolyWood are doing an experiment all abut plants, I personally think nothing is going to happen well, I think other people don’t think so. We all have different  opinions! I am doing hot and cold and am great where for it as well and my cold place is the staff mini fridge. Cool isn’t it?

 

The whole big class made an experiment on cress. some of the class done hot cold, dark light, soil no soil…

Miss Stewart   has running  beans not very much only  5 people got some including me .

we had to wright what you will mead  method  also instructions…

On Wednesday and Friday, Miss Stewart and Miss Dale taught us an experiment with cress. What we had to do was write up our method, what we will need and our prediction. My prediction was that in two days there would be a shoot and a couple of leaves. That’s my prediction. Here are a few of other peoples prediction. Braiden: ” there will be no change”. Josh: ” seeds will be smaller “.

We have been experimenting on cress seeds and what I have done is that I have put one of my pots in the closet and the other in the sun!!

My method:

1 I put the paper towel on the table next I placed the 20 seeds on the towel then I put the water on it then I got a tub and some soil and mixed all of it together then BOOM!!

What you Need:

Seeds: 20

Paper: Towel

Water: 25m a day

Sunny Spot: Soil

filling cabinet:

prediction: I think it will work but the dark one will not work.

it is pretty interesting.
