Angelman Syndrome

Our kaupapa in science is genetics, and for the past day I have been working on a presentation about the genetic disease Angelman Syndrome. Angelman syndrome  is a genetic disorder causing developmental disabilities and nerve-related symptoms. Before this topic I knew nothing about this disability but now I'm coming out with some knowledge about a rare genetic disease.  The hard part was to understand the big scientific words and the easy part was to find the information, pictures and sites about Angelman syndrome.

Send it Challenge

 Our topic in science is forces and motions. One of our challenges is called the send it challenge where we had a bunch of equipment and had to make a gadget that would send a ping pong ball into the air making it fly it across the classroom. We had heaps of drafts that didn't work out but overall it was a pretty fun challenge that was a bit frustrating at times but the learning behind it meant well and a bonus we also came first equal.

Charcoal water purifying

 In science I am starting the science fair projects. The topic I chose is purifying water with charcoal. I have to identify the topic I chose and investigate how it is useful. Water filters use a special type of charcoal known as activated charcoal' to purify water. The activated charcoal is able to remove the food colouring from the water. The food colouring molecules bind with the charcoal and come out of the water solution.  My hypothesis is   I think that charcoal can purify and remove molecules from water. I don't think that charcoal has a direct  impact on the health of our body but I do believe it can purify water and that's what I’ll be testing.

Plants and Photosynthesis

For the past few weeks I've learnt about plants and photosynthesis.Here is the things that I have  learnt.
