My Collage of the year 2013

This is my collage. I chose the Pokemon because I worked really hard on them. I added some camp photos because I had SO much fun on camp. The Eevee with my face on it is my avatar. I was creating the Pokemon for fun at home, when Mr M said I can make them into my avatar. They were all made on Paint.

Centripetal Force

Hypothesis:

I predict that some of the water will come out but it will still stay in the bucket. I am bound to get wet though. If you spin left the water will move to the right of the bucket. This will be very fun.

Variables we must control:

Variables	Control
Liquid	Each bucket filled to the second mark to ensure that they have the same amount of water.
Speed	Each person have to spin at the same speed.
In time with each other	Start at the bottom and move your way up as you build speed.
Space	Each person has to have your own space.
Holding the bucket.	Each person has to hold the bucket the same way.

Method:

Results:

Was your prediction correct? Yes. What happened and why? The water was trying to fly out of my hands. I was stuck to the back of the bucket. Gravity didn’t affect the water at all. The water was like it was on wheels in my bucket. The centripetal force was holding the water down. The bucket was really heavy and making it hard to hold. I was spinning so fast!

Round and round,

I go!

Boat or Submarine?

Title  Boat or Submarine  

Scientists: Inderpreet and Zeb.

Question/Goal/ problem

What shape of container will hold the most weight ?

My partner and I have decided to go with pan.

Hypothesis (The shape I have chosen and why I think it is the best shape)

Because it has a larger bottom, it can hold more coins and can float.

Materials

Container filled with water, modelling clay, old coins

Method (What I did)

Create a boat out of modelling clay.

I Fill the container with water.

Place the boat carefully onto the water so it floats.

One at a time, put coins carefully into the boat . Count how many coins are in the boat before it sinks.

Observation/ Analyse (What happened and why I think it happened)

It sunk because it got heavier and holes were formed.

Conclusion  (What I discovered about floating/ sinking )

The bigger it is the better it floats and it can hold more coins.

The stuff Inderpreet and I made our boat out of.

Balloon Rocket

Balloon Rocket!

Equipment:

• 3 balloons (just incase if one or two of them pop)
• 1 long piece of kite string (about 10-15 feet long)
• Tape
• 1 plastic straw

Method:

1. Tie one end of the string to a chair, door knob, or the other support.
2. Put the other end of the string through the straw.
3. Pull the string tight and tie it to another support in the room.
4. Blow up the balloon (don’t tie it.) Pinch the end of the balloon and tape the balloon to the straw shown below. Now you're ready to launch!
5. Just let go of the end and watch it zoom off.
   
   
   Prediction

   Zeb: The balloon will fly across the line.

   Tyrone:The balloon will go across the line like a rocket and run out of oxygen or air in it and it will stop.

   Observation

   Zeb: The balloon went zooming across the line.

   Tyrone: The balloon flew across the string and got from one chair to the other.

   Explanation

   Zeb: The air was pushing the balloon across the line.

   
   

   Tyrone: The air or oxygen comes out of the balloon causing it to move the opposite direction of the end of the balloon.

Speed Boat

Race a Speedboat

Can you make a paper boat race across the water just by gently touching the surface of the water?

Hypothesis The liquid in the washing liquid will make a wave big enough to push the paper boat along.

Materials

Coloured card, washing up liquid, pencil or sharpie, scissors, large container of water.

Method

Get a big container full of water and put a small dab of washing liquid on your finger. Put your boat in the water and place your finger in the water behind your boat.

Observation

The boat moved.

Conclusion

The washing liquid spread out and pushed the paper boat.

Ahoy matey!

Short Experiment to Follow Up

Make Metal Float

Gently place a paperclip on the water’s surface.

Hypothesis

The paper clip will float because of it’s weight.

The paper clip will float, just you wait.

Air Weighs

Air Weighs!

 Equipment:

Ruler, newspaper, table and a someone who can karate chop.

Method:

1. Put the ruler on the table (balance it) and karate chop it. What will happen?
2. Get the ruler and do the same but with a screwed up piece of paper on the it like a canon pult.
3. Karate chop it. What will happen?
4. Take another piece of paper and make it flat.
5. Take the ruler and put it under the flat paper.
6. Karate chop it. What will happen?

Hypothesise:

My hypothesise (guess) is that the ruler will rip the paper.

Results:

The paper did rip but only sometimes. The ruler SNAPPED!

Yeah Crighton!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Fast as lightning!

It HAS to be flat as a tasty pancake.

He's using the force, Go Mr M!
