Experiment day 1- Ooblex

Good  morning, Today i have completed my science experiment and task for today and it was about a type of non-Newtonian fluid that is made when you combine corn starch and water. For this way we had to combine corn starch and water and mix it together. After we had done that we had noticed that the mixture had become solid when you applied pressure and a liquid when you had not applied pressure. This task was very fun and interesting to do because it was fun when we got to touch the mixture and feel it, i enjoyed this task a lot and i hope very soon we do it again. Thank you for looking at this blog post i hope you enjoyed this and bye:) 

Chemical and physical reactions

Good afternoon, Today i have completed my inquiry task for today and my task to do was called  physical and chemical and to complete this task i had to answer two slides that had questions about chemical and physical changes, i found this task really easy and simple to do. I hope to do this task again but hopefully next time it can be harder, Thank you for looking at this blog post bye:) 

Decimals (maths task)

Good afternoon, Today i have completed my maths task for today and my task to do was called decimal and to complete this task i had to answer two slides that had adding decimal questions, i found this task really easy and simple to do. I hope to do this task again but hopefully next time it can be harder, Thank you for looking at this blog post bye:)

Fractions recap

Good morning, Today i have completed my maths task for today and my task to do was called fractions recap and to complete this task i had to answer two slides that had adding, subtracting and fractions questions, i found this task really easy and simple to do. I hope to do this task again but hopefully next time it can be harder, Thank you for looking at this blog post bye:) 

Atoms doc

Good afternoon, Today i have completed my inquiry task for today and it was called Atoms doc. To complete this task i had to first watch a video and then after that i had to write the difference between Molecules and atoms.  The difference between them is that Atoms are single neutral particles and Molecules are neutral particles that are made of two or more atoms bonded together. I enjoyed doing this task because  it was easy to do, i hope you enjoyed looking at this blog post.:)  I have also posted my google drawing of Water molecule h20; )

LI 5: We are learning that everything is made out of different combinations of atoms and that different materials have different properties.

Everything is made up of different combinations of these atoms. For example, water molecules are made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. That is why water is also called H2O. 

 

What is the difference between a molecule and an atom?

 

Atoms are single neutral particles and Molecules are neutral particles that are made of two or more atoms bonded together. 

 

Atoms also come in different sizes, depending on how many electrons they have. An oxygen atom is a lot (16 x) larger than a hydrogen atom.  Draw a picture (and take a photo) or create an image on google draw of a water molecule H20. It contains 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

 

Example = this is a carbon dioxide atom.

 

Different materials have different properties. For example, they have different melting and boiling points, different mass (weight), density and some are stronger than others. This is caused by their molecular structure.

 

We need to keep this in mind when designing different products. For example, we make saucepans out of metal because they won’t melt on our stoves. However, if we tried to place a plastic pan on the stove it would melt because it has a lower melting point. We can create strong metal by

 

 

Rust task

Good morning, Today i have completed my other task for this week and it was a Rust task that i had to do to complete one of my reading tasks and that is a word find. This task for me was easy and simple because it was basically just putting the information that i know about this topic into the text boxes. I hope you enjoyed looking at this blog post!

Fast Rust Task

 

Task

Work on this Doc together with a partner.

 

What 3 ingredients are needed for rust to occur.

Iron Water Oxygen

 

Write a brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)

When metal or iron starts to rust, a reddish orange type of metal starts forming, how rust forms is that when the iron reacts to the water and oxygen. Rust is the result of corroding steel after the iron particles have been exposed to oxygen and moisture. 

 

How could you prevent something from rusting?

One way you could prevent something from rusting is storing the metal or iron in a very low moisture area or in a temperature controlled area. Or if you can’t do this one way you could protect your iron is by applying grease or paint. This protects the metal for a period of time until you need to reapply the coat once the grease or paint starts to fade away. In conclusion, try to keep the iron away from water or moisture and if you can’t protect your metal with grease or paint.

 

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading.

 

Write down any new words you found in Fast Rust or the article about rust. Make sure you learn what the word means and write down a definition you understand for each new word.

Word Definition
Corrosion A breakdown of materials due to a chemical action like rusting.
Alloy A metal mixed with another element to make the metal stronger
Compound A mixture of 2 or more chemical elements.
Iron oxide Chemical compound used of iron and oxygen. 
Moisture Condensed or diffused liquid
exposed Left or being without shelter or protection
decomposed Breakdown or caused to be broken down.
Molecule The weight of which is measured in any unit.
Decay To be decomposed or to rot
chemical A substance  produced or used in a chemical process. 

Create a word find that includes your new words found in the journal or article.

Journal word find- Rust

Good morning, Today i have completed one of my reading tasks for this week and it was a Journal word find that i made and completed and it was about a book that my literacy class read and this book is called Rust. To complete this task we had to first read the book and do the task that goes with this word fine.Once i had done that i had to make a  word fine and use interesting words from the book and words that relate with this topic. I enjoyed doing this task because it was very fun and it was interesting finding out words i have never used before. I hope you enjoyed looking at this blog post bye!
