Boat experiment

Hello

In science we are learning about buoyancy/pressure, So we had to test two boat one with lots of floor space and one with a little amount of floor space.

This is the video for the large floor boat

We forgot to small boat because we were having to much fun with it.

What is pressure? P = F ÷ A, the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.

How does it change with area? Inversely proportional to area.

Football (Soccer)

Hi guys

In PE I am starting to play football.

History: The first football association was formed in England in 1863. The person that invented football was Tsu’ Chu

How many players in a team? 11 Players

What is the size of the field? 110 to 120 yards length to 70 to 80 yard width

What are the positions in a team?

  1. Goalkeeper
  2. Right fullback
  3. Left fullback
  4. Center back
  5. Center midfield
  6. Right midfield/wing
  7. Forward
  8. Left midfield/wing

What are 5 rules about football

  1. You can’t touch the football
  2. Only the goalkeeper can touch the ball
  3. Football is played in two 45 minute half

Friction experiemnt

Hey guys

We are going to be doing an experiment in Science

Aim: To investigate the relationship between wing size and drag.

What is friction? Friction is a force that acts against the motion of an object.

What experiment are we doing?

  1. Cut out and assemble the four helicopter shown on the opposite page. Attach the paper clip to one of the helicopters.
  2. One member if your group holds the helicopter at a height of 2 metres.
  3. On the count of three, the person holding the helicopter drops it, while another member of you group times how long it takes for the helicopter to hit the floor.
  4. Record your results in the table below.
  5. Repeat each drop three times.
  6. Repeat steps 2-6 using the other helicopter models.

Hypothesis:

3cm: I think this one is going to fall to the floor the fastest

4cm: I think this one is going to fall to the floor the second fastest

5cm I think this one is going to fall to the floor the second slowest

6cm I think this is going to the floor the slowest

 

6cm: 1.53

5cm: 1.78

4cm: 1.69

3cm: 1.84

Conclusion:

In this investigation, I found that as wingspan of 6cm, the time to fall also was 1.53. This means that having a bigger wingspan increases the drag (friction created by ___). We made our results more reliable in this investigation by doing multiple times. 

 

One thing that went well was: Measuring the time the helicopters fall

 

One thing we could have done to improve is: Making the helicopters more better  

Touch

Touch rugby reflection – Term 2  

 

This term in PE we have been learning about Touch Rugby.

 

Touch Rugby is played with 6 players on each team on the field at one time..

 

The field is 70 m wide x 50 m in length.

 

The equipment needed is ball and bibs

 

Here are some of the rules:

 

  1. You can’t pass the ball forward 

 

  1. The dummy can’t be touched

 

  1. The dummy can’t score a try

 

  1. You can’t drop the ball

 

  1. You can to go five meters back when the other team is rolling the ball 

 

One thing I improved at was throwing the ball

 

One thing I enjoyed was throwing the ball

 

I could keep working on my passing

 

I enjoyed playing on the same team as friends. because it is always funner playing with friends

 

I always brought my PE gear to school

 

Out of 10, I would give myself a 7 for effort because I didn’t not run with the ball and I could have done better

What is the salt march?

The salt march was a nonviolent march which happened in 1930. It was a 24 day march which lasted from 12th march – 5 April 1930. The march spanned 378 kilometers from Sabarmati to Dandi, has they marched lots of Indians joined. When the Indians reached Dandi they collected water from the ocean to make there own salt.  The salt production and distribution in India had long been a lucrative monopoly of the British. Indians were poor and could not afford to pay for salt tax to the British government, so they decided to protest.  Then Gandhi broke the salt laws at 8:30 6 April 1930, it sparked large-scale of civil disobedience against the salt laws by millions of Indians. The march on the salt works went ahead on May 21, 2,500 marches got attacked and beaten by police.

Banana DNA extraction

Hello

In Science we have been learning about DNA and instructions for your body.

Yesterday we made Banana DNA.

  1. We had to put Banana in a plastic bag and the banana has to be overripe
  2. Put a pinch of salt and some water
  3. Mush it all together
  4. Then put the banana through a funnel with a cloth into a test tube, to get all the banana out
  5. Put dish washing liquid into the test tube
  6. Put the test tube in hot water for 10 min
  7. Then put ethanol on the side of the test tube so a layer would form
  8. And the DNA would rise to the top
