Can you make a paper boat race across the water just by gently touching the surface of the water?
Hypothesis I think the dish washing liquid will make bubbles and the the bubble will make wave and the boat will move.
Materials
Coloured card, washing up liquid, pencil or sharpie, scissors, large container of water.
Method Cut a piece of paper into any shape and put it into a container and fill it with water put the paper in the container and then put a drop of dish washing liquid and slowly put your finger on the water behind the
boat what will happen.
Observation We put our boat on the water and the dish washing liquid and it was like the boat had an allergic reaction to is because it zoomed away up the water and the force of air made it float.
ConclusionI think that the boat zoomed off was because the dish washing liquid was forcing the boat to move.
Short Experiment to Follow Up
Make Metal Float
Gently place a paperclip on the water’s surface.
Hypothesis I think the paper clip will float because there air is pushing it up.
Observation When you slowly put the paper clip in it floats it is because the air is holding it up but when you look at it clearly it is almost like there was a dip in the water from where the paper clip.
Conclusion
This one is the paper clip one.
It was so light that it made the water hold it up but when you look it up closely it had a dip in the water it was really cool.
Lately for science we have been doing some experiments to do with air. This one we had to do one about weight. Read my presentation to learn more. Please comment.

The other day our class did a experiment it was about air. I really enjoyed doing it.
Please comment :)
What is air ?
Air Exists
Equipment :
Container filled with H.20
Jar
paper towel
Method
Full the container with water so when you you put the jar in it is level with the water. Then you scrunch up the paper towel and put it into the jar. Then you put the jar upside down in the container. What happens?
Predict :
No I don’t think that it will work because when water hit paper it goes all soggy.
Observe :
Yes it did work because the air inside was like a soft cushion for the paper towel.
Explain:
The first time we did it most of our paper was dry but the corner was wet because it was to big and it wasn't pushed in anuff so the next time we did it we made it really small so it just fell out with our last one we did it! This was because we had it touching the sides and in was push in so it didn't get wet.
Lately my reading group have been reading the book A birthday in the life of Ozzie Kingsford by Val Bird and illustrated by Rebecca Cundy I have a great time reading it. As well as reading the book we got assignments to do like passage picker, summariser,discussion director and some others. Here are some photos of the assignments.I hope you like it please comment.
This is the passage picker assignment
This is the word master assignment
This is the connector assignment
it is my favourite one.
This is my reading group sharing our assignments.
Reflection for the book Ozzie Kingsford
Something I was pleased with was that my group did a great job reading the book and doing their assignments
and we had a lot of fun doing it.
I really enjoyed learning about the adventure that Ozzie had going to the beach on his birthday and having trouble on the way with his family.
Something I found hard was trying to find different Ideas when we were doing the assignments so they weren't all the same. My favourite part in the book is were the wasps attack them and they have to walk for ages.
This is my art it is my sister and I.We are skeletons. This art is a collage it has been made out of old magazines I had a lot of fun doing it. What do you think of it. I think it looks really cool.
Lucky for Ethany when she wants to spell a word she can just look in her hair.
Today I finished my calender art. It is a picture of me and I have traced my face and then I colored the dots in and then lightly shaded it.We got the idea from the Roy Lichtenstein art. Here it is please
This is my day 2 yachting 8.00 the bus left and in minutes we were at Pandora Pond in the kayaks I shared a double with Tracey I was in the front she was in the back first we went under the bridge and the we went up before you head out to the sea then we went back around the boat and then we had to go under a wire and a low bridge and around a some more boats and back under the bridge again and then we had to go through the current and go back to shore.
Reflection for Yachting
Something I was pleased with was that I stayed in the yacht and didn’t hop out because last time I hopped out early
I really enjoyed learning about how if you watch where the wind is coming from it can help you sail much faster .
Some thing I found hard was kayaking because it was really windy and the water was really ruff.
Something that made me think was when I am taking do I go to the left or the right.
Something I want to get better at kayaking and be more brave and go in a single kayak more often.
Something I was pleased with was how I had a go even though I didn't like it because the boat keep rocking side to side and I just about fell out.
I really enjoyed learning about how to use the tiller and what not to do because when I was moving the tiller I didn't know how so I kept moving it side to side.
Some thing I found hard was finding the wind and moving the main sheet so it would catch the breeze because sometime we got stuck in the middle of the water and the wind didn't catch it.
Something that made me think was do I pull the tiller right or the left because when you pull it left it goes right and when you pull it right it go left so you have to be careful so you don’t crash into any boat.
Something I want to get better at is being brave and next time go again because this time I had one go when I could've had more and the weather was really good.
