[Science]Isolating the Variable

[Science]Isolating the Variable

In science class we talk about "isolating the variable" and that means you eliminate all the differences between tow experiments , then you know that the difference in results is caused by a certain reason you made.
We did SMASH day (Smith's Marvelously Awesome Science Hoopla! WooHoo! DAY) and we looking at Chocolate Attack activity. We need to make a ship and it will test by float on the water, then see which group can fit in the most corks the group gets to win. The reason why we do this is because there are chocolate attack and we need to invent the boat that can fit in most people to save everyone from HIS. In 30 minutes we need to finish the boat so the time is enough for the people who wants to escape from chocolate attack. My group is Peter, Tung Erh, and me. The things is "how did the activity isolate design as the variable?". We get three piece of papers, scissors, tape, and three straws from Miss. Smiths. The winner is Stephine, Annchi, and Jasmine C'S group, their boat can fit in 30 corks. The most corks. Their design is the boat is very big and it has more space to put the cork, the boat they make can also separate the gravity. They didn't waste paper, so their boat looks very slight. So, the most important point for the boat is the boat must be slight, big enough. To let the boat float on the water and it can fit in many corks.

[Science] Puzzles and Drift

[Science] Puzzle and Drift

Before we did some actives about puzzles and drift. We put the paper that had been cut together in group. There are white paper and newspaper and there are some differences between them because newspaper is much more easier by reading the words and pictures in the newspaper.
Later on, we study Continental Drift which is published by Alfred Wegener. He wrote about the continents were a big grassland before. That means the continent will move. He found out this because he found the same fossil in different continent and the things that really fun was the edges of the continents are fit.
The puzzle and continental drift are somethings same because puzzle is put together by different shapes and continental drift talk about the edges are fit. So, this is the same things they are same and this is also the things Ms. Smiths wants us to understand.

[Science]Submarine SMASH Day Reflection

[Science]Submarine SMASH Day Reflection

Today is SMASH Day. Which means Smith's Marvelously Awesome Science Hoopla Day. We had a mission called “We All Live in a Yellow Submarine”. Our mission is to make a group of three or two and make an aquatic telescope by the supplies we get with your teammate and use the aquatic telescope you made to see the things in the box and write it down on the paper. The group who gets the answer get price from the teacher. I get tapes, 10 papers, 2 scissors, 4 mirrors, and paper box.
I know that I should modify my design by to see the things in the box. I need to try to use mirrors to see the things inside the paper and know what is inside the box. My team communicates and discusses about the design at first then starts to do it.
If you are someone who is doing this first time don’t give up while you are design. It is hard to be successful in this mission. In this mission your design will need many tape so you need to be careful for using the tape on your design. While you are trying to make your design easily to finish the mission then you need to discuss with your teammate how do you make your design.
