Science Fair Plan

Last term we learnt about the scientific method. We used this method to solve an experiment. We had to find out real life problems that we wanted to solve. Our problem was which was the stretchiest material for slingshots. The real life problem was that my friend and I tried fixing a slingshot using different materials. Both the bike tube and the tyre rubber snapped. We wanted to find a better material that is durable and affordable. Right now we’ve researched different materials including Theraband, 80G rubber bands and normal rubber bands. For our investigation we want to compare all three of these materials to see which is the best.

Feathers

Today we’ve been creating feathers for our Korowai that we are trying to create. I’ve really liked how we’re making a Korowai for our class. We did this last year but we used crayons and dye.. Looking at it now, the colors look dull and faded. Using pastels really brings out the warm bright colors and the cold bold colors. I don’t know if we’re doing this every year but it’s a very creative thing to do with all the kids participating. Bye.
