Skittles Colour Experiment

 Kia Ora Readers 

Aim:

I want to find out what happens when I put Skittles into water.

Method:

Equipment:

• Skittles 
• Petri Dish 
• Warm water 
• Beaker
• White background

Instructions:

1. Gather the equipment's
2. Get 8x Skittles 
3. Put the skittles in the Petri Dish.
4. Spread the skittles evenly around the outside of the Petri Dish
5. Get the warm water and gently pour the warm water in the Petri Dish.
6. Don't over fill the Petri Dish.
7. Then observe and record what happens 

Prediction:

I think I will see the colours go away from the Skittles and the colours will go on the water.

Results: 

I saw the colour slowly goes in the middle but they didn't go into someonelse boundaries but in the end part they sorta went to someonelse boundaries, and I also saw the colours fade away from the skittles. 

Discussion:

  

• The colour of the skittle dissolved. Dissolved means when a solid mixes into a liquid creating solution.
• The colour also spread out in the water. The colours were Concentrated and diffused ( Diffused means when something maybe stretches or expands out on the surface or extends on the surface) to area where there was no colours .
• The colour did not mix with the other colour. The colours had different solubilities, 

Cars and vehicles

 Kia Ora readers 

Welcome back to my blog today here in hurrumanu 3 we were learning about different type of cars and vehicles. We read the book about the vehicles and the Genre of this text is article and the author of the text is Pat Quinn,and the illustrator of the article was the twin brothers who makes different types of cars and the text is mostly about them creating their own car and naming the car ‘The Stanley Steamer’ and the text is also talking about how they made the car,what things did they need to make the car and knowing how that car works,like how do they make the engine to work, and they also mention the minuses and the pluses of the steam powered car.

What are the pluses and the minuses of the steam powered car?

Pluses:Since the petrol cost had been going up and the air is being polluted by the cars the steam powered car can be the car for the  future because the steam powered car uses the Kerosene as the fuel, and if anything was broken on the steam powered car you can just take it back on the factory and they will just fix it.

If we compare the steam powered car other cars the steam powered car is was fast,clean and easier to start, and it was build with a safety device so the boiler won't explode while their driving the car.

Minuses:They refuse to advertise their cars on paper so some people wont even know the car, and if your buying one of the cars you have to pay it full payment no down payments, and the deposit was also not allowed.

The car has to be filled with fresh water a lot of times, and you have to wait for approximately 25 minutes for the car to steam and for it to work you need steam. Other cars spread rumours that the steam does explode.

My sport hero

 Kia Ora readers 

Welcome back to my blog today here in hurrumanu 1 we were learning about our sports hero, and also doing a research about them, and knowing why he is my sport hero. I really enjoyed doing this research because it helps me learn more about my sport hero.

What is a hero?A hero is a person that you might wanna be when you grow up or it can be your role model or a person who shows the value of a hero like resilient or committed, heroes are just normal people who had done some extra ordinary things.

I picked Kobe Bryan to be my hero because he had been a really kind person even thou some people aren't kind to him,and  and I also like how he always smiles, I also respect Kobe Bryan because when the racism was happening to some countries the Lakers  including Kobe Bryan  had set a game up to protest the black lives matter to show that they dont need to judge the people by their colours. They also putted  I cant breathe shirt when they were playing the game, and the team that they were fighting against was the Sacramento Kings. But sadly Kobe Bryan had died at 26 January 2020.

Welcome back to my blog today i will be talking about what we did in hurrumanu 1, we basically were learning about our heroes and we also used an app to use to brain storm some words what makes a person an hero, after that we had to pick one character to draw and after that we had to basically describe our hero. 

I decided to pick my mom to be my hero because she had always been helping people who needed it and always took care of me since i was a child and the other reason why i picked my mother is because she had been my role model since i was a kid and i really wanted to be like her when i grow up, and i wrote my mom as a trust worthy is because she always keep my secret only to her and never tells it to someone else and that is why i putted the word trustworthy, and I putted the word caring because she always cares for my family and for other people and whenever im sick she always makes me feel better :)
