Unit of Inquiry Time!!!!!!

Yesterday in Unit of Inquiry, Mr. Perico explained about Natural Disasters. We have to found out what were the observable changes, cause, effects and human responses from the presentation in the powerpoint. We were done with all except for the human responses. I think today, we will find the observable changes, causes, effects and human responses about man- made changes.

Maths on Symmetry

After watching the video, I learnt that a symmetry can be used in real life. There are many kinds of Symmetrical figures like; arts, architectures and natures. For example, in nature, we went to the beach and get a shell and a shell can be divided into half..

A symmetrical figure could be used in building houses. For example, we want one side and the other side to be the same. A symmetrical figure can be used in art too when we draw a flower. It has 4 symmetrical lines.
My reading

My Reading on Erosion and Weathering....

From what I've read, I learned that an erosion has many kinds. An erosion is waves that pound against the land. For example; the grand Canyon is a famous place because a river pound the rocks and like the shorelines. They pound the land until it become sand but, it took many years.

I am confused with weathering.

I am interested to ask question about;

*Where does weathering and erosion happen?
*What are the difference between the 2 of them?
*What are the causes, effects of this change?
*Why do weathering and erosion happen?

A weathering is a small rocks that break apart into small pieces. In erosion, the difference is it break to huge pieces. For example, a landslide. There are 2 kinds of weathering. It is Physical Weathering and Chemical Weathering. There are 2 causes and it by pollution or by forces. the causes of weathering is Acid Rain. The causes of erosion is landslide.

Science Investigation Time!!

Today in Unit of Inquiry, I like Irene's group because it is interesting. They could explaned very well and we understand their experiment... Their experiment title is "Water Vs. 0il". Firstly, they have 2 containers. One with oil and the other with water. They also used food coloring to complete their experiment. They cuted 2 strips of paper and the water win and the Oil lose.

Maths Time!!!

Yesterday in Maths, we made a symmetrical lines on an alphabet and road signs. Some students haven't yet done with finding the symmetrical lines in Road Signs. So, it is a homework.
Some of the road signs have many symmetrical lines. After that, we have a review about Area and Perimeter of a Composite Figure. In this work, there was a figure and we have to find the area and th perimeter of the figure. If we wanted to find the area we have to measure the sides of the figure first. Then we multiply LxB (formula of rectangle) and we get the area. We also find the perimeter by adding all the sides.

English Time!!!!!

Yesterday in English, we went to the computer room. We have to type on our own persuasive essay. I am done typing it but, I think I've to add more details so my audience can understand better. I think I've need to improve in using boldface to emphasize important ideas. I'll add more information about " Against Bringing Handphone to School!!" After we were done typing it, we have to type about our explanatory text about Cloning. My weak point was, I didn't put any boldface in a word.

Unit of Inquiry Time!!!

Yesterday in Unit of Inquiry, we have a presentation on our experiment. We work with groups. Me and Hafizh make an experiment about color changes. I like Nael's group because it was fun. Did you know that a candle was a gas?? Firstly, they need to light up a candle. Then, put a big jar on it. Observe what happen. The light of the candle turns off because the CO2 turns off the light. So, I think their experiment was a great job and I think they'll be a scientists someday. Hafizh said to me that our experiment was good and popular to everyone because the green food color can change into another color. When i was presenting with Hafizh, we couldn't answer the question of Mr. Perico. In the experiment we have to use the toothpick. But, Mr. Perico asks us: If you change the toothpick into a coin or other things. Can it be the same? ( can it color change?)
I replied; I don't know, because 've not tested it if we used a coin or anything. But later, I will test it and see? observe what happen... I think it will be the same but, I'll see later..
