Isaac Newton | Reading/Science

 LI:To learn about Isaac Newton 

This week in Reading, LS2 has been working towards Simple Machines. Apart of this, we were required to learn about Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton is a physicist, mathematician, theologian and a Astronomer. We were also required to create a DLO with the following questions: Why is his work important? What did he find out? How does his work connect to simple machines? I found this activity interesting because i got to use my smart screaching skills and expericence through the history background of Sir Isaac Newton .

Tech reflection

 LI: Learn about the high and low amount of  sugar and if it is good or bad . 

Today for Tech Mrs Sharma  showed us that putting a 50 gm of pepsi on top of a bunsen burner can turn into burnt sugar or crystals and made sure we knew  the exact amount of sugar that is in a product . Next Week is our last week doing science with Mrs Sharma so we had to  be creative and explore the food we eat everyday that has sugar in it and tell how much sugar is in that food ,i worked with Afatia and we both came  up with good ideas that we could tell Mrs sharma what food had sugar in them and explain the different meaning that links to the question . We all had a booklet that we cutted and we had to write the food product and amount of sugar and our results we gathered up in the end to find out the Answer to food product and high amount of sugar and food product low amount of sugar so the answer we had was pink lemonade that was the high amount of sugar that equal  29 gm of sugar and weetbix that only had 1.0 gm of sugar . Something that i found interesting was learning about the different type  amount of sugar we eat everyday . 

Biology

L.I To look for evidence in the data/an image and infer what might be happening

This DLO is about Observation and Science. Science is  empirical which means it is based on. I worked with Liletina ,Afatia and Sakshi. We all worked together and shared our ideas on this DLO. We looked for images  that links to the information on our DLO to help the readers understand what our DLO is about. We completed  our task by working together,Sharing our ideas,  Helping  each other to get this task done.  I also really enjoyed working and giving my ideas on what I should do to get this task done and completed. I also really enjoyed talking to my group members to explain What is Science?. 

Tech reflection

LI: To identify what we know about about science . 

Today Year 7's had there next rotation in Science with Mrs Sharma . Our topic  today was learning about steam and different kind of Science equipment scientists normally use in there science lab , While we were listening  and looking carefully to Mrs Sharma about the  different equipment she was showing us so when Mrs Sharma shows us the equipment we could be able to explain what it is .  We were aksed three questions and told to write it on the AV3 about what you think scientist do and would you  like to become a scientist and what scientist would you like to be  , Me and Juel buddie up and shared our answers together and asked why then when we were finished we got to write what question we wanted to find out and my question was ( Why do we need trees to have oxygen ? ) . I really enjoyed  learning new words of science and differen equirement 

 

Experimenting with Ultraviolet light

LI: To find the most effective UV filter

LS2 has been trialling the electronic sensors for the Kiwrious project. We are working with Suranga,Sonia,Evan,Dawn and Yvonne from the AHL at Auckland University . I found that the clear plastic with sunscreen was the most effective filter to kepp Zally safe from the Uv light. My DLO will show how i done it and what Materials i used to make Zally safe from UV light .
