Build something that floats!

This weeks task is about creating something that floats! 

Making things float must have air apart of the objects structure. Something called buoyancy; description of how afloat or buoyant something is. 

What materials can be used to make things float? Wood is a perfect example as it has many little air pockets inside keeping it afloat. Some boats and canoes are made out of wood because it is reliable on water. However rocks are the opposite. They usually don't float because they lack air in them, materials like that are heavy and dense. 

I can use anything that I can find in the house to create my floating invention, ANYTHING. 

Once I have engineered my new invention I will need to test it!

I will Measure how far it will be able to sail and how much load it can carry before it sinks.

The material I used in the house is paper. The heavy objects I used in my experiment were marbles.  

Watch my video to see my experience during this experiment!

Maths - Independent Learning

For Maths, I had to pick two Independent math activities. Free rice and IXL were the two activities I've chosen. Free rice is like Xtramaths if you were to do maths on the site. IXL is a site that helps improve and show a way of working out the equation.

Patterns 2

WALT: identify number patterns

Task description: Figuring out the pattern to get the answer of the problem.

Sports Shed.

Task description: Me and my group has attempted to figure out how much space is in the container, So we haven't really made our desiccation on how we would get an answer but we didn't finish because of the little time we had so we didn't get an answer. Here is how we tried to work it out!

Fruit kebabs.

Task description: Figuring out how many apples they have used to make 14 pieces of apples. But they were all cut up into quarters. Me, and my group have found out a way to solve the first question. I have put the information in the following slide so you know exactly what we were doing.

The Fish Tank~

WALT: have everyone contribute to the small group discussion.

Task description: Trying to find out what ratios match, and is correct for the 3 goldfish & 4 Catfishes, Within using the whitebait as well to help us with using ratios. I also will be showing you Me and my group's work of how we got an to the problem answer, or no answer at all.

Location, Location, Location.

WALT: justify our Maths thinking.

Task description: Using Latitude, Longitude,Prime meridian, Co-ordinates and The Equator. And also North, East, South and West.To help us work out where Calais and Maria are most closest to. Little Shoal bay? Anzac Street? The closest park to Birkenhead Beach? Three golf courses? Or Coronation Road? And to also find were the place are by using the Latitude, Longitude,Prime meridian, Co-ordinates and The Equator.

Weather Forecast.

WALT: have each person participate in the small group discussion.

Task description: So Me and Jarrreka were finding ways for Mr Vogt to plant his shrubs in the school garden. We used two types of graphs which were a, Line graph and a Bar graph to figure out the day.

Hats working out.

WALT:  Ask questions to clarify our thinking.

 
Task description: so in the being of the slide show it says that a group of 25% student that has not have their hats.Trying to figure out how many of the 25% students that has no hat. We used dividing it in half to make it easier to work with by getting 25% of the students.

Favourite anime characters.

WALT: use the story context while sharing our Math's thinking.
Task description: We were using a bar graph to figure out how many out of boys and girls, that voted for their favourite anime character by showing how we worked it out together as a team describing how we got the answer.

Who Gets invited?

Walt: solve problems using Ratios.

Task Description: Who is going to be invited? We have to use ratios that's in multiples of a number so that number could be invited or not. So lets see who is going to be invited or not. 

family of facts 6

Walt: solve problems with multiple elements.

Task Description: We are trying to solve the problem by Times and division using these numbers,we also used the big numbers to make a number from the triangle.

Shapes and symmetry.

Walt: recognize shapes and sides.

Shapes on shapes.

 Walt: recognize shapes and sides.

Ordering Units.

Walt: understand different measurement units.

Task description:I will be sorting out the units of measurement from smallest to largest.

What's the time? Bronze's medal task

Walt: build a stronger knowledge base around time.


Task Description:
This Task we had to answer what the time was on the clock.I had to write the time in the written form, and in the digital form.
