What Would You Do?

Imagine that you are hiking with a group friends in the woods of Maine, and the weather changes unpredictably. The rain is falling in sheets, and it is difficult to see where you're going. You decide that you need to find shelter, so you dash into a nearby cave. Once inside, you notice that one of your friends are missing. The storm is very strong, and it is begging to get dark. You've only got a torch and some food in your bag.
What do YOU do?


1. Yell out "There's a TV, and it        2. Use the torch that is in your bag
 has a rugby league show on!"          and go out with your friends to   
and hopefully they here you.            find her.

   3. Use some leaves that is                4. Make a cup out of leaves and 
   next to the cave and make it             put it out side for water.When its 
into a rain coat by using some flax,   finished, make a bow and 10 
and then use your flash                        arrows out of sticks so if an 
  light to find your                               bear try to kill you, you can kill
 friend.                                             it and use its fur to make a fluffy                                                                   coat. Now you are ready to find
                                                             your friend.

                  

Facts About Bugs On Water

As it turns out, the bug's feet are covered with waxy hairs that are “hydrophobic“–which means they chemically resist contact with water. This combination of strong surface tension and water-resistant feet is what lets our bug stand on the
 water, without even getting wet! This reason is because these water-walking insects are so light, their long, thin legs distribute their weight evenly and prevent them from breaking the surface tension of the water. The surface of any body of water behaves as though it is covered with an invisible skin, which allows small, light-weight insects to walk across it. This skin effect is caused by surface tension. Like molecules are attracted to each other. They like to “stick together” and this attractive force is known as "cohesion".

Science Experience

Which solution makes the best bubbles?

Equipment needed:

• Pipe cleaners (3)
• Buckets (3)                                              
• Liquid dish washing soap
• Water
• Dish washing liquid  or glucose syrup
• Light corn syrup
• Masking tape 

What to do:

1. Put water and dish washing liquid into a bucket. Mix carefully and well.
2. Use your pipe cleaner to make a circle shape like this photo.   

3. Dip your pipe cleaner into the bucket. Take it out and blow. 

Do this with 2 more times once adding corn syrup to the mixture and the next bucket has dish washing liquid, water and glucose syrup.

Now, when you have made bubbles with all of the solution , which solution makes the best bubbles?    

I discovered that solution 2 gave the longest lasting bubbles out of all three solutions. This solution had corn syrup, Dish washing liquid and water.

Science Project

I hope you can enjoy this process of making a bug to try and make it float
on water.

                                   PROCESS

1. You get three pieces of thin wire and cut all three pieces of 

wire about 8-10 centimeters long.

2. now fill up a bowl of cold water add food coloring if you wish.

3.Now twist the body all the wire pieces and make sure that your
legs are in a U shape and all of them are the same height.

4.Now try and test your bug.

BY THE WAY NONE OF OURS WORKED OUT.

THEY ALL SUNK.

Rugby Teams

                      Kiwi Ferns         Black Ferns  

Silver Ferns                 The uniform that I

like the most is the black ferns uniform because its exactly like the allblacks uniform
and rugby league is my favorite                                                                sport.
