Science Roadshow

Last Thursday, some of the intermediate classes went to the Science Roadshow at Tamaki College. It was to show to teach us more about the gases and about how we live. After the show, we got to test out some of their experiments that they made which was pretty cool.

It was a great experience and I enjoyed it. My favourite part was when they popped a balloon with fire and when they burnt down a balloon dog with dried ice and Carbon Dioxide which is why the whole balloon dog shrunk and heated it back up when they blew on it.

The Trumpet Presentation

This is a presentation about the trumpet and how it makes, also about the tuning fork and how to make it louder. I made it this week for my reading activities. I hope you enjoy :-)

Sound Explanation

Sound, we use it everyday but do we really know what it is and how it works? Sound works through some of our senses, we hear sound through our ears and we can give or make sound by touching things. But there is much more to it than you would think,  there are different levels and waves, sound waves that can be very interesting so sit back and be ready to be amazed.

When a sound gets sent out, it vibrates the air monocles making sound waves. They travel through the air to our ear drums, vibrating them the vibrations then turn into electrical currents which your brain recognizes as sound.
