Plants

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURE OF PLANTS

Carnivorous Plants

Plants fall into two categories:

1. Evergreen

2. Deciduous

Deciduous

Evergreen

Find three examples of each:

Evergreen: 

1. tsuga chinensis

2. Scot pine

3.  Blue spruce 

Deciduous;

1.  Oak

2.  Maple 

3.  Beech

LEAVES

Simple                                 Compound   

Activity: Choose a leaf and do a leaf rubbing. Once you have done the rubbing, cut it out and glue it on the tree.

RESEARCH 3 TYPES OF PLANT GROUPS

1. Carnivorous plants
2. Fruit trees
3. NZ Native trees

Plant group:

Habitat: (Desert / beach / mountains / swamp / plains / forest) 

Climate ( 1. Hot / warm / cold, 2. Rainy / dry 3. Windy / still )

FLIGHT

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics. 

• In your groups of 3, you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behaviour.
• In groups of 3, you will make a water rocket and record its distance and behaviour. 

Definition: the action or process of flying through the air.

4 forces of flight:

1.   Gravity 
2.    thrust
3.   Drag
4.   lift

Paper Plane:

Material:

1. paper
2. ruler
3. paper clips

Steps:

1. get a paper 
2. fold paper 
3. cut the wing of the paper aeroplane
4. fly the paper aeroplane.

Findings:

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	2.8m	Curved
Ailerons	1.8m	Swooped
Paper clip	4.5m	Straight Line

Conclusion:
Today we did paper aeroplane we made a paper aeroplane because to test the force of flight, we also measure the plane when it lands. here are the materials we used, paper, ruler, and paper clips.

Balloon Chemistry

]

Aim: To see which chemical 

mix creates the most gas.

Hypothesis: (What do I think will happen) I think that soda and salt work


Materials:

1.  balloon
2.  bottle
3.  sugar
4.  yeast
5.  baking soda
6.  vinegar

Steps:

1. Get bottle  
2.  Get balloon 
3.  get funnel 
4.  the teacher will put materials on the balloon or the bottle 
5. 
   
6.  

My images:

Findings:

	Balloon 1 ( 3 tsp baking soda, ½ cup vinegar)	Balloon 2 ( 3 tsp salt, ½ cup soda)	Balloon 3 ( 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar )
Balloon Size (cm)	10.6 cm	5.1 cm	5.5 cm
Bubbles	Medium amount of bubbles	a small number of bubbles

Conclusion:

The things we did with my group is what gas can blow the balloon the fastest so we added gas soda to make the balloon go up but it take slow to go up. Some gas takes fast to go up.

Some gas makes bubbles and some make a little bubbles,
