Science Method and Materials

So as you may know in the Kaupeka hub we are doing a science fair and I thought that today I will tell you guys about my method and materials. Recently I posted my hypothesis saying about what I think will happen, now today I'm going to show you my method and materials.

Here are my materials...

Vinegar

Baking Soda

Soap

Bowl

Large Tray

Measure Cup

And here is my method...

1. First I will put the bowl on a large tray.

2. Then using the measuring cup I will put 250 mls of vinegar in the bowl.

3. After that I will add dishwashing liquid to the vinegar (approximately average 3 squirts will be fine).

4. Then I shall add 10 grams of baking soda and watch/record the reaction.

5. Repeat these steps again for further research.

Hope you guys enjoy my method and materials and maybe you can try and use my method and materials to do your experiment.

Comment if this method and materials worked for you. Do you think you can make up your own experiment? If so comment what you think yours will be.

Bye everyone and I hope you have a good day.

Science Hypothesis

Hey guys, I hope you guys are having a good day. Today I've decided that I'm going to show you my science experiment hypothesis and background research. If you are a bit confused about what I am talking about well let me tell you. In Kaupeka we have been doing a science experiment and we all had to do steps like, write the science question then hypothesis and after that we have our method and materials. After this blog I am going to post my method and materials.

Here is my background research...

Background research:

My research shows that when you add soaps such as dish-washing liquid to the baking soda and vinegar solution it increases the size of the reaction.  The reason why it does this is similar to when you wash your hands using water and soap. When you wash your hands bubbles are created which will fill up space, therefore it makes the reaction bigger.

And here is my hypothesis...

Hypothesis:

What I think will happen is that from adding the soaps to the vinegar solution should increase the size of the reaction as I said in my background research.

I hope that you guys enjoyed this blog and I also hope that you guys have a nice day.
What do you think is going to happen in this experiment?

Peer Mediation

So in Kaupeka we have been learning about peer mediation. This is how it works, we put a vest on and we walk around the school making sure that everything is normal/calm kind of like what the duty teachers do except if people are fighting that's when we get a duty teacher.

Now lets talk about when I was on peer mediation.
I'll be honest I was a bit bored at the start but then I started making some people start games so everyone would be involved and it make it so much more fun. The new entrants even let me play and they said they had so much fun. The part I loved the most though was when one of the kids walked up to me and gave me a big hug. When that happened I felt a warm feeling go through me like I had done something well.

Do you like helping kids out?

My Family Culture

Hello everyone, today we will be talking  about my Family Culture.

In Kaupeka we are learning about our families and their cultures. One of our tasks was to share about our family culture. Here is a part of what my family culture is about.

A part of my family culture is about my Granddad Arthur who I was luckily to to be named after.
My Grand dad Arthur fought in the Navy for 10 years. Throughout those 10 years he fought in the Korean war and was awarded a shield that I still have till this day.
It has been passed down by generation to generation and is 60 years old.

Hope you enjoyed my blog and have a nice day

And do you have a family treasure?

My Science Experiment Question

Hello everyone, hope everyone is having an nice day today.

Today we will be talking about  my science experiment question.
My science question is about adding different soaps to the vinegar+baking soda reaction and what effect it will have? I have been thinking about the question and I am very excited about what will happen.

What would you choose as a science question?

My Kaupeka Learning Profile

               Hello everyone, I hope every one is having a nice day.

Our Kaupeka Learner Profile is about positive our qualities in our team.

Now lets talk about my Kaupeka Learner Profile...
In my opinion, a strength of mine is being able to express my ideas but also take in ideas at the same time with other people. Something I need to work on is being more confident, by asking questions when I feel like I'm confused and I also need to have a more of a Growth Mindset.

What do you think your strengths and weaknesses are?
