sound experiment (tuning forks)

Today i will tell you about my science experiment.The experiment was about tuning forks. If you don’t know what a tuning fork is it’s a piece of metal with a handle and a space between each other.

What I did:

EXperiment 1:

So what we did was we took the tuning fork and hit it on metal.Then we put it on salt and the salt moved. The reason we put it over the salt was that a tuning fork cares vibrations. the reason the salt moved was because the vibration of the tuning fork was strong enough that it moved the salt.

experiment 2:

after we did that we took a cup and filled it with water. Then  we hit the tuning fork on metal and cared the vibration to the water and the water exploded. my hypothesis was that both of them  would make sound but  the conclusion was in the end it just the moved objects.

Science experiment (how light travels).

Hi, my name is blue energy. i am going to tell you about one of the light experiments i did. The light experiment i did was how light travels. My hypothesis was that light travels not that far, straight and and skinny. What i did was i took 4 cardboard cards a pencil clay and a flashlight, then i took my pencil and drew a bullseye on each card and stuck the pencil in all the cards but one. I shined the light of the flashlight through the holes in the cards and it hit the bullseye.

my personal recount

Hi my name is blue energy. today i will show you my personal recount. my recount is about my RV trip and about the pros and cons about an RV.

I am going on an RV trip. We are traveling Canada and our destination is halifax. I went with my sister, my dad, my mom, my grandpa, and my grandma. It was a 2 week trip. We went around 4 or 3 weeks ago. We went with Zach’s family for a bit over half the trip. The sleeping was ok but overall difficult because we went with our grandparents. They took the big bed at the end of the RV. I took the top with my mom, my sister slept on the foldable table bed, and my dad slept on the pullout couch.so it wasn’t that comfortable. The first couple campgrounds were not that good but the final couple campgrounds were really good. Especially the final one. It had a zipline and an obstacle course which is why I have an obstacle course and a zipline in my backyard.     

 

One memorable part of the trip was when we were in Dartmouth. On the first day we took the Ferry to Halifax and walked around the Harbour area  checking out lots of bakeries and historical sites and artifacts. Most of the artifacts were from really old ships, they were rusty and big and broken and in multiple pieces.  

 

On the second day in Dartmouth, we drove the RV across the huge bridge into Halifax, we stopped at another campsite where there was a tennis court and a really cool play structure. There was one way to get up: you had to Parkour to get up the other side. It was like an obstacle course but not that big. Later that day we went for pizza and once again took the ferry to Halifax, we walked around and came back for the pizza. The pizza was really good but it was spicy but good nonetheless. At the end of the day we drove back to the RV, had steak and huge marshmallows and then we went to bed.

I also used my recount skills on the storyboard i made of the wild robot:

the characters are ro The book starts when a cargo ship with a 100 carats is sinking in the ocean by a huracan. the next morning the huracan is gone and only 5 carats remain, as the drift on the ocean 1 2 3 4 cratats crash into rocks and one gets pushed on to the rock pillar. A pack of otters come and one brave otter touched it then another and another and one accidentally slapped the on button. The robot said ” hello i am ROZZUM  unit 7134 you may call me roz”.

Persuasive writing

We should have more computer lab classes.  It helps students get familiar with technology. Computer classes let us practice typing faster. It will help us with grades where you need to use a computer.

It helps students get familiar with technology. It is important to learn about technology because you will use it a lot when you are older. Computers help a lot with learning and as we get older we will use them more.

Computer lab classes will help kids learn how to research properly. The more students get familiar with technology the better. The computer classes will let us practice typing faster. The more you write the faster your fingers move so you type faster.

The more you write the more comfortable you are in the writing position. It’s important to learn to type faster so you finish your work on time. Kids can practice typing faster.  

It will help us with grades where you need to use a computer. Once you’re in grade 4 you’re going to need to bring your own Chromebooks until grade 8. Since more assignments become online, it is important to know how to use a computer. As you get older, the work gets more complicated so computers will be helpful. As grades get more complicated, we need computers more.

These are some of the reasons that I think that the computer lab would have been good this year. Because like I said we could have learned how to develop computer skills like typing faster and develop fast finger mussels. It is good to be able to type fast and understand computers because you need to do it as you get older.

Building and testing a parade float

Problem: Can I build a parade float that can travel 50 cm and hold 100g?

Hypothesis: I thought that I could probably make a parade float that can hold 100g and travel 50 centimetres.

 

Materials:

Bamboo skewers

Cardboard

Elastics

Tape 

Plastic golf balls

Optional hot glue, Markers, Coloured pencils, and cotton balls.

Method:
First I drew a picture of my parade float and the next day I started to build it. After that I took cardboard and made a cube and used tape to attach the cardboard together. Then you take bamboo skewers and add them to the bottom of the cardboard cube with tape and if you want you can use hot glue. Then you add plastic golf balls on the end of the bamboo skewers and add rubber bands so the plastic golf balls don’t fall off. The way you put on the rubber bands is put it on the bamboo skewers edge and twirl it and put it over and keep doing that over and over. Then decorate your float if you want.

Results:

It worked and then it didn’t work but then it worked when my friend videoed it. It traveled 70 cm.

Fortnite

 

First of all if your parents don’t let you play violent games then ask them if you can read this blog post. Fortnight is a killing game. There are different levels of guns for example in a game you would want a golden scar or a mini gun. You have 100 Health and you start with zero shield. Shield is basically extra health. There are multiple ways to get shield. The only ways I know are minis big pots and breaking a slurp truck.Well those are all the ways I know but there are probably more ways. So the point of fortnight is either killing everybody or letting everybody kill each other and then just kill the last person. But If you’re bad at the game you can play on duos or trios. Duos or trios is where you play with one other person or if you’re on trios you play with three other people.

If you don’t like Real games there are things you can do. My personal favourite is creative. Creative is where you Either go into little portals which bring you to maps. My favourite map is the pit.The pit is you Spond and then there were weapons on the side choose your weapon and then jump in a hole which will bring you into a fighting zone and then you try to kill your friends. But the nice thing is you respond.If you don’t like the pit or other things in creative you could also go into this red portal and you Spond and you land in a world. You could build anything and the nice thing is you can fly. Finally if you don’t like those two and you don’t like dying instantly in a real match then you can go on team rumble. Team rumble is a regular match but when you die you respond. The point of team rumble is for one of the teams to kill as many people as they can. Let’s say I play team rumble and I kill somebody and I was on blue team and blue team and red team had both had zero so blue would get a one instead of zero. The game decides how many kills each team needs.

You can change your skin. You could level up to get skins or spend V-bucks.You can level up to get V-bucks or spend real money.You can go to the item shop to get skins or You can buy levels and get skins.Because remember how I said you could level up to get skins well you can spend V-bucks to level up.You Can also spend V-bucks on emotes.Emotes Are dances in Fortnite. When you start the game you have a default imote. Then you could spend V-bucks to get emotes in the item shop or you can again level up for imotes.I prefer to level up because it’s easier. If you don’t spend money on V-bucks when you level up on some levels it gives you 100 V-bucks. You can play fortnite on switch,Xbox,Pc and Ps.

Fortnite is a lot of fun if you can move your fingers quickly. Even a dog can play Fortnite.
