Aquathon

Look at how hard we worked! Well done 3L!

You have got to believe me I'm telling the truth......

We played a game yesterday in Science. It was to help us learn new science words for our topic on Materials. Each group had a science word. They found out what it meant and wrote it down. Then they thought of two made up meanings. Next, the rest of the class had to guess which one was true and which ones were made up.
Can you guess which is the true meaning?
Brittle
1) The smell of fresh air and grass.
2) To fill a plastic bag and pop it.
3) Hard but likely to break or snap.

Absorbent

1) a drop of water that rises

2) when a material soaks up liquid easily

3) a material that is made from glass

Buoyant

1) able to float

2) how to say hello in Greek

3) a boy ant in love with a girl ant

Opaque

1)You cannot see through it

2)It is black fire

3) It's a crime

Durable

1)To control a robot

2) Strong and likely to last

3) To blast into space

Saturated

1) On saturday we have fun

2) Drive around Saturn

3) Soaking wet

Please post comments telling us what you think is true.

Please post your own science words for this game. You could use transparent, waterproof, flexible, elastic, dull, hard, strong, shiny, magnetic, aerodynamic and streamline.

Computer Plants

Operation Pot Plants

What happens if you take away what a plant needs to survive?

We are doing and experiment with 6 plants. We are taking away one thing a plant needs to stay alive and then we are going to watch a see what happens. Each group is taking away one thing. Our groups are pictured below and have typed a piece of writing to go with their picture.

<=The picture here is the control plant. We haven't taken away anything from this plant.

Red Table

We put the plant in the plastic bag to let no air to the plant. We put a transparent plastic bag so we can also give it the sunlight. We water it by a tube.

Blue Table

This plant is our experiment for taking soil from it. We went to the year 3 garden and took the soil out. Then we took the plant back and watered it.

Yellow Table
We are experimenting about what will happen if we cut the leaves off. The first day we watered the plant. The second day it stilled did not grow leaves but the roots are growing amazingly out of the bottom of the plant pot.

Pink Table

We are experimenting on a plant with no light.

We put our plant in a box.

We are using a special tube which we are connecting to our plant.

We have made air holes so air can go through. We put cloth on the hole so light can't get through.

We won't know what's happening in the box because we can't open it. Maybe we will have to think of a way we can check it without letting light go into it.
Green Table
Our group has not watered their plant for a week.I t is not dying

at all. We think it will survive. The soil is very dry and the plant is still normal but one of the leaf are turning pink .

Some of the leaves are healthy and some of them are riped.

Hello from 3L

Today we have seen our class blog for the first time. We think it is an excellent idea.
We want to add more pictures, videos and work to our blog.
Watch our blog get better!
