YESTERDAY TRIP AT KPMG

 

Yesterday, a group of 30 students went to KPMG. 

One of my highlights was the food because they have amazing chefs, the food we had was mini burgers, garlic bread, Jam and fruit bread, sausage rolls, etc. 

Another highlight was when we made oobleck which was part of science challenge for my group, its was very fun to play with because when pressure is applied its hard and when you leave it alone it will turn into liquid.

My last highlight was when my group won the quiz by half a point, Water came 4th, fire came 3rd, Air came 2nd and Earth came 1st obviously that was my group, in my group was Zoe, Oalii, Sauma, Bradley, Norah and Jane. 

Also Christine did an awesome presentation, and thanks to Jake, Josh, John, Elliot, Alex, etc.

Thanks to Ms West, Mr J and Rima for coming to look after us. It was an amazing opportunity. 

This is just a couple photos from the day:)

Why does matter matter

WHY DOES MATTER MATTER !!

The three basic properties of matter are : Volume, mass and shape 

All matter is made up of tiny particles called : Atoms 

Volume is amount of space that matter takes up

Mass is the amount of matter in an object 

Liquid take the shape of their container. 

Gases do not have a definite shape of volume 

Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume.

Solids  have a definite shape and volume. 

A shape and chair are example of solids 

Juice and Milk are examples of liquids

Helium and Oxygen are examples of gas

Solid ice is melting when it is changing into liquid
