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!
Task Description: This task was set for us to do in our Literacy class. Since it is High School Week we used the Summer Learning Journey tasks to fulfill the time period in class, we had to do the 3 tasks on the site. Create and Post. I've only finished the first task and here is my work, the one during class !
A message from Glen Taylor School is a film created by Room 11 students. It is filled with inspirational quotes and words of wisdom to help you realize you're special.
I hope when you leave today you are inspired and motivated to embrace your uniqueness and strive to succeed! Don't let anyone stand in your way!
I was a presenter, so my day when off by going straight to the cinemas with the other presenters. My heartfelt as if it was going to fall out of my chest but it went well throughout the day.
Finally, when we finished presenting to three different schools. We got a little spoilt and got treated to a frozen coke from Mc Donalds, hehe my favorite highlight :)
The other films from other schools were very entertaining, and we all created different films showing the students learning and inspirations.
In this task we were set to write about what we know about photosynthesis. I researched about what it may be and it explains that it is a process of how plants or other living organisms live. This is my work !
For LCS our task for that is the list down our Personal Timeline. Using google drawing I've listed 15 personal highlights that have happened in my life.
I've listed the events and the dates but ones that I could remember and feel okay with other people knowing about my past experiences. The 15 pieces of information are ones that were memorable and meant a lot to me.

(Pretending I’m one of the old men in the video) When I was out fishing with my old colleague, we were silently waiting for a catch but my nose had a little itch, a big sneeze came out, and out came my dentures. My friend laughed at the scene. I lean over to where my teeth laid, and oops. My teeth fall into the deep and cold lake. I hear the most enjoyable laugh next to me while I look up at him and give him a stare. Moments later, I feel him bump against me. I realized he caught a fish. He pats my shoulder, I turn to find my dentures in the fishes mouth, I quickly take the teeth out of its mouth and into mine...It doesn’t fit? I chuck it back into the lake because I knew it wasn’t mine.
(Slight Change - Different Ending) When I was out fishing with my old colleague, we were silently waiting for a catch but my nose had a little itch, a big sneeze came out, and out came my dentures. My friend laughed at the scene. I lean over to where my teeth laid, and oops, my teeth fell into the deep and cold lake. I widened my eyes and looked up at my friend who was laughing hysterically on the other side of the boat. I quickly took my hat and shoes off and then I took a deep breath and dived into the lake, searching for my dentures. THERE it is! I found my teeth at the bottom of the lake. I swam back to the surface, I see my worried friend who helped me onto the boat and tells me how crazy and insane I am. I explained to him that without my teeth, I won’t be able to eat properly. He agreed and we continued fishing.
(Writing a pretend script of what they are saying)
Old man 1: Ha! Ha! Ha Choo!
Old man 2: (Laughing then Points to the side of the boat)
Old man 1: (Feels his mouth, then looks where his friend is pointing) - (He reaches for the dentures quietly then it falls into the lake)
Old man 2: (Still laughing)
Old man 1: Oh please I’m been through worse.
Moments Later…
Old man 2: Ooo lookie here I’ve caught myself a fish!
Old man 1: (Rolls eyes)
Old man 2: (Pulls the fish out and smiles) *Thinking: What if I…(Puts his own dentures into the fishes mouth to make it look like it was Old man 1’s teeth. He shows the fish to Old man 1)
Old man 1: Oh gosh you’ve found my dentures well not just you along with this fish. (He puts the dentures into his mouth...he realizes it doesn’t fit. He chucks it back into the lake)
Old man 2: Hold up that’s my- (The dentures have already disappeared into the lake)
The book I read for Daily 5 was, Wonder. I've read this book about two times and it still gets to me. I read the first chapter which was an introduction about a little boy named Auggie when he was born, didn't develop as he should while his mother was carrying him. It took multiple surgeries to transfer the needed senses to his face. He didn't look like an ordinary kid, but to him. He thought he looks horrific. He's never been to a real school filled with kids before, and in 5th grade was his time. My thoughts on this first chapter were interesting and enjoyable. I read this book to my sister who listened after I read it to myself. This was the cover of the book that I was reading. I recently found out that there was a movie about the book and I can't wait to check it out!
