Enterprise term 3.

For our inquiry this term, the school is doing enterprise. This is where we learn about business, finance and being a consumer. Our aim is to create a business in groups of 2 or 3, or by our self if we want to, and make products to sell at our market day in week 7. First, we have to come up with a society name, our 1, 5, 10 and 20 notes. Our money is called Gongs.
     The year 7 and 8s are allowed to apply for a bank manager, a warehouse manager, to be in the Board of governers (Prime minister etc), or Newspaper editor. These jobs will help to run our society. Kayla and I are going to do a business. We have had the ideas of pencil holders or bath bombs but would still like some help on ideas. It would be a real help if you could leave some ideas in the comments. Thanks!

Kaleidoscope Pictures

Koru Kaleidoscope.

Today, we cut out and reflected and normal photos. We rotated some of them and glued them onto a white piece of paper. This created a kaleidoscope picture.

Science Fair 2013

This term, I have been researching, experimenting, and printing. This is because of the science fair. The topic for my science fair I chose was Does colour affect taste? I did an experiment using room 1 students. I got three lemonade bottles and coloured 1 red and 1 green. I then took 20 students (4 at a time) and poured them each a shot glass of the clear, red and green drink. I then got them to write down what they thought the drink tasted like. My hypothesis was that the colour of the drink would make them believe it was a different flavour drink. My hypothesis was right because only 3 students got all of the drinks right. Last Friday, we presented our science fair boards to the parents at our Science Curriculum Update. It was good fun and I got a lot of awesome comments. Thanks to all the parents who came along.
