Blog Post plants #3

This week our class pollinated our plants, we dabbed our finger in the polin and dabbed that polin onto the other plants pistol. After we came back from the weekend we looked back at our plants and there was seed pods! It looked like mini sugar snap peas or green beans, but they are tiny.

Controlled cell 1 is green it has 22 leaves 4 buds and it is 18 centimeters. Cell 2 is green it has 20 leaves it has 6 buds and it’s 14 centimeters. Cell 3 is green it has 21 leaves it has 7 buds and it’s 20 centimeters. Cell 4 is green it has 14 leaves, it has 15 buds and it’s 8 centimeters. Manipulated cell 1 is white it has 15 leaves, 0 buds and it’s 13 centimeters. Cell 2 is  white it has 13 leaves, theres 2 buds and its 9 centimeters. Cell 3 is white and it has 10 leaves, it has 2 buds and it’s 8 centimeters. Cell 4 is white it has 8 leaves, it has 0 buds and it’s 4 centimeters.

 

I think my manipulated will plants will die because the sunlight is starting to affect the manipulated. And it’s also starting to droop down and turn really white.

In school we are learning about plants in class and today I’m going to teach you all about them. In this unit we are making a hypothesis. My groups hypothesis is, what is the effect of no sunlight on plant growth? You are probably wondering what a hypothesis is, well a hypothesis is a scientific theory that you are trying to prove. Each group has 2 quads one quad is your controlled which is the plant that you keep the same and give it what it needs (sunlight, water, soil, air). The other quad is the manipulated the one where you change one of those things. My group manipulated the sunlight and put it in a closet.

My groups tallest plant was 16  cm and my smallest was 4 cm. Our manipulated never really changed so far with color, but our controlled is doing good and its pretty green. One of my controlled  plants is 4 centimeters and another is 16 centimeters that’s 12 more centimeters! And one of my manipulated is 13 centimeters (that’s pretty big for a manipulated) and the other was 8 centimeters that’s 5 centimeters taller!

 

This is my group that I’m working with.

 

Maglev Final Blog Post

Our first track was a bad fail because we put 3 disk magnets facing S going across the track and 2 strip magnets underneath it facing N so they would stick together and then repel from the vehicle and they were arranged in a row. Also our first vehicle failed too, for the vehicle we put 2 disk magnets facing S so it would repel from the vehicle and go across. The disk magnets were arranged in a row. All of that was a fail.

 

Our problem was that the vehicle stuck to the North because the vehicle faced S. So instead we put two strip magnets on the vehicle so the magnets would be stronger and levitate higher. Our other problem was that there was way to much tape so it stuck to the sides and put to much weigh on the vehicle and it could not levitate.  Also we couldn’t use the disk magnets because there was not enough to cover the track.

For our final design for the track we put 8 strip magnets there was 4 on each side of the track. For our vehicle we had 2 shorter strip magnets (maybe a quarter of a normal strip magnet) 1 on each side so it would levitate smoothly, and they would line up.

 

During the beginning I was a bit frustrated  because everyone else took the disk magnets and I thought that the disk magnets were the strongest magnets we could us, but I was wrong, it all turned out pretty good because we got it to levitate across. In the middle and end I was excited because I knew at one point I would get it and now i’m pretty confident.

Technology is…

Technology isn’t just i pads and i phones. Technology helps people do stuff easier and makes life easier.

Like a Hi – liter it helps people hi light the words and make the important words stand out so you don’t forget it.

A Hi Lighter is made of plastic, ink and has a cap so the it does not dry out and a body so you can write with it.

The Hi lighter is neon yellow and really stands out well.

 

 

My Expert Book – The Amazing World of Niagara Falls

I wrote about Niagara Falls. I chose this topic because I just went on vacation there and it was beautiful, so I knew it would be great to write a nonfiction book about it. When I wrote this book I learned  a lot about different text structures, expert words, mini story’s, introductions  and conclusions and even more.

My book is called “The Amazing Niagara Falls” here it is…

Reflection on Persuasive Writing Experience

I learned that to make a persuasive essay you need to use strong words such as you should, I believe and more strong words like that. I also learned that you can’t be wishy washy.  Wishy washy is like using words like you could, maybe, and I think. I also learned to use examples and good punctuation.During this unit I also learned how to paragraph.I learned how to persuade people to do what I think.

After watching my video I felt like I could of looked up at the camera more, spoken louder. I think I persuaded my audience because I used strong words.And I did not use words like you could and maybe and I think.I also should of spoken more confident so it would persuade them more.

“Mom,”I said in the morning. “When are we going, when are we going?”

 

“Soon sweetie,” said my mom in the morning.

 

I was playing on my ipad when suddenly my mom said, “Breakfast is ready!”

 

I raced myself downstairs and I looked at my plate.  

 

I gasped,  “It’s RICE KRISPIES!” my favorite cereal.We all brought our bags down and got in the car. I made a huge yawn.I was really excited.

 

Boy,I really needed food. Finally we got there.We waited till our friends got there and the fun has begun! I got on Coyote Canyon. I was really nervous.I got on the tube then it started to get super fast then it shot down like a bullet and I really screamed.

 

“AHHHHHHHH!” and then it went round and round I tasted salty water in my mouth.  

Then it slowed down.I saw so much beautiful colors like blue and yellow stripes.Then I started splashing.While it was spinning I was thinking about what I would tell my mom after the ride.Then I shot down the hole.I was so happy that I was of  the scary ride.
