Sarona and Chloe Funnel experience

Science experiment:

Question: What will happen to the sound if I change the shape of a piece of paper? (e.g. from a flat shape to a funnel shape)

Links to research about Sound:

http://www.thetech.org/exhibits/online/robotzoo/guide/bats_and_echoes.html

Hypothesis: (What do you think will happen?) e.g. I think that….

It might echo.

Materials needed:

Paper, Tape and Tissue

Experiment (procedure):

e.g. Step 1 -

First hold a flat piece of paper against you're ear.

Step 2 -

Let you're partner speak into it.

Step 3 -

Fold you're piece of paper like a cone.

Step 4 -

Then put your  tissue in and see what it would sound like.

Step 5 -

Then test everyone in you're classroom to see what they would sound like too.

Data (What happened?)

	Shape/object/materials	Results:
1	flat piece of paper	Clearer? Didn't make any difference.
2	funnel facing to the front	It sound the same.
3	funnel facing to the side	It was defferent than before. It was louder than before.
4	cotton ball blocking funnel	It sounded different because it sounded like there was a little baby speaking to me when they were speaking. It also sounds blurry.
5	rolled up piece of paper (facing to the front)	Well it doesn't make a difference when my friend talk’s it sound’s the same. It also vibrates into  your my ear.
6	rolled up piece of paper (facing to the side)	Well it doesn't make a difference when my friend talk’s it sound’s the same. It also vibrates into  your my ear.

Observations:

Flat Piece of paper did not make any difference. Funnel facing to the front sound the same.Funnel facing to the side was defferent than before. it was louder than before. Cotton ball funnel sounded defferent because it sounded like there was a little baby speaking to me when they they were talking in it. Rolled up piece of paper doesn't make a difference when my friend talk’s it sound’s the same. It also vibrates into  your my ear.

Conclusion:

My hypothesis was wrong because it did echo and it did make the right sounds we wanted to hear. When your partner talks to you through it would sound louder and you would hear them clearly.

Solving maths problems

This is my maths works that I have to do when it’s math time. What I do is work it out with a strategy that I may use and I’m going to show you how I work it out. A) I had $53 in my bank account and I saved $18 more. How much money do I have? We’ll I would do 53+18=? So I would subtract 2 from the 53 add it on to the 18 so it would make 51+20=71. That’s how I do my strategy’s and sometimes I do number lines.

My holiday Writing

Paragraph 1: On saturday I went to bowling with my family. We went at 7:00 at night in a car. I had to wait with my little siblings and my big ones because my Mum had to go and pick up my other sisters.

Paragraph 2: So when we were waiting for my Mum we decided to wait inside because it was cold and my Mum was taking for long. As we went inside bowling I had forgot the snacks outside so I had to get it.

Paragraph 3: After that my Mum and that came inside and my brother came inside with the fizzy drink. I grabbed the drink off my brother and started to drink it because I was so thirsty for fizzy drink not water.

Paragraph 4: My Mum walked to the counter to pay for bowling so we could play. When she got there she payed and it was really to much but she still payed for us.

Paragraph 5: We went to find a seat to sit on and we had to go on the left where there was seats and thats where we were supposed to sit because our bowling names where there. I played until my seven turns were finished then I could go to the game area.

Paragraph 6: At last we were finished and we went to the bowling area where you could play bowling with your family. It was the most fun day I have had. Later we went to burger king to get our food and go back home to eat it was delicious and Yummy!!!.

The End

Sarona science experiment

Science experiment:

Question: What will happen to the sound if I cut the straw shorter and blow through it?

Links to research about Sound:

e.g.

Hypothesis: (What do you think will happen?) e.g. I think that It will make different sounds each time you would cut it shorter.

Materials needed:

Scissors and Straw.

Experiment (procedure):

e.g. Step 1 -

Get your straw and flatten the end 2-3cm to make it sharp.

Step 2-

cut the end of your straw into a triangle shape about 1.5cm long.

Step 3 -

Put the triangle shape into your mouth and blow and you will hear a sound from it.

Step 4 -

Put your lips just beyond the triangle, and squash the straw gently with your lips.

Step 5 -

Get your straw and try cutting the ends of it and blow on to it. Then you may hear a buzzy noise as you blow your straw and cut it.

Data (What happened?)

Long: 15             (When I Blew into it had a high sound)

Shorter:10cm     (When i cut it I blew on to it again and it made a High sound)

Shorter:5cm       (I cut the straw again and it went Higher  than before)

Shorter:2cm       (This last time I cut it and it went really Loud)

Observations:

It sounds like a buzzy Noise Like a big bee flying around.

Conclusion:

When i cut the straw shorter it went to a higher note.

Sarona Sound: What can I hear?

Sound: What can I hear?

Team 5’s Inquiry focus this term is about Physics and the Science of ‘Sound’.

This week you are going to write an explanation about the different types of sounds that you can hear in your environment.

Think about the sounds that surround you - at home, at school, outside.

What types of sounds can you hear? Where do they come from? Use the table to help you organise your ideas:

	Home	School	Outside	Other
What types of sounds can you hear?	e.g. phone ringing	e.g. people talking	e.g. children laughing	e.g. cars whizzing past
Which sounds do you like listening to? Why?	My family laughing.	Music and funny jokes.	Children playing and laughing.	The wind
Why sounds are annoying? Why?	When you're younger siblings cry.	When there jokes get annoying and you just want them to Shhhh!	People arguing outside.	When People just come from somewhere and sing in front of you're face.

It would be boring without hearing anything because when you want to hear something like you're favourite video clip and you just wanted to hear the song but you can not. Also I think it would be a waste of time having ears when you just can’t talk and hear  anything.

If I couldn't hear and when someone is trying to tell me something and I couldn't hear that person it would be really difficult because if you wanted to hear what that person told you and they can’t do sign language to you. Also if I would be crossing the road and you never checked Left and the right of you then you just crossed and you nearly got crashed that would've been scary.

What's annoying to me at home is when my little siblings cry because it gives me a headache. Also what's annoying to me outside is when I hear People screaming and Arguing about something.

Immersion Assembly

Immersion Assembly

Brainstorm:

Term 1: Zoo, Safety equipment

Team 2: Flight, Airplanes, Thrust, drag, Gravity

Team 3: Light, Colours, Speed of light

Team 4: Floating & sinking, bouncing

Team 5: Physics: Sounds

Team 1: Team 1 had shown the whole assembly a video clip about going to the zoo. They showed us how to be safe at the zoo. So they had also shown us how to be safe with equipment at the zoo. Also they showed us how they protect Animals and everyone too.

Team 2: Team 2 had also shown us a Video clip about Airplanes. Miss She was a fairy who had magic. There had been three teachers who were Airplanes and acting like pilots. So there theme is about Flight, Airplanes, Thrust, Drag and Gravity.

Team 3: Team 3 showed us About colours and how they work. There were teachers who was dressed up in colours to show what they are telling us about. They had talked about what colours can do and also they told us how rainbows are made.

Team 4: Showed a video clip about what sinks and Floats. All of team 4 where dressed up in swimsuits and they told us about protecting ourselves when we are in the sea. They told us Questions about what can sink and float Number 1. What can Float. A a wood. B a Paperclip. C a Marball. Number 2. What would sink. A a Ball. B a stone. C A bowl.

Team 5: What they were doing was showing us sound and how they make sound without Music. So they had Played instruments that they can make sounds with. It was really Awesome how they put on a Video clip to also it was Funny.
