Writing Week 8 Term 2 2021 Science Experiment Writing

 In Week 8,  Miss Fletcher gave us a science lesson about Matariki.

We had to write some notes about it.  Here is my work:

Bridge Building

We have been learning about forces and how they help shape the sort of bridges that we build.

We learned that there are three main types of bridge design; beam, truss and suspension.  Using this knowledge we designed and built our own bridges.

Miss Fletcher set the challenge that our bridges had to be 30 cm long and strong enough to hold an object.

In my group there were Frank, Zavier, Kaye-Lani and Stella. We used an Egg Carton and some cardboard to build our bridge.

Here is a photo of our Beam bridge.  What I like best about our bridge is that it can hold the weight of me when I sit on our beam bridge.

Moon Lander

Title:  Moon Rover Lander    Label: Science

For science we made a Moon rover lander using only a paper cup, paper, cellotape and straws.  We were given the task of making our Moon rover land softly onto our Moon landscape so that our marsh-mellow astronauts did not fly out.

The materials I used for my Moon rover is plsikbag and paparn and capn and tapn.

What I like best about my Moon rover is

What I needed to modify on my Moon lander rover was  ….

One thing  I learned about landing on the Moon was

Here is a video/picture of my Moon rover landing on our school’s Moon surface.  I hope you like it!

Bug Hotel

We made a Bug Hotel. I have used some bamboo, string and newspaper. We made the hotel to attract good bugs to the garden.
