Water & Ice

Water and ice are in ways the same kind of matter. Water is a liquid and ice is a solid and is really frozen water. But how does water turn to ice?
There are three main types of matter. There are liquids, solids and gases. Matter contains atoms (things that are so small that cannot be seen by the naked eye). Atoms make the world go round and are in everything. The atoms in gases are spread apart and are full of energy. The atoms in liquid are still got lots of energy but are more compact. The atoms in solids are basically touching each other and hardly move (they basically only vibrate).
When water turns to ice it freezes. The temperature water turns to ice is zero degrees Celsius. When water turns to ice the atoms slow down and become more compact.
Some examples of ice are hail, icebergs and ice-blocks. When the temperature of the clouds goes to zero degrees Celsius or lower the rain turns to hail. Icebergs and ice-blocks also gothrough the same process.
In conclusion water is a liquid and turns to ice which is a solid when the temperature is zero

degrees Celsius or lower.

Week 7 Reflection: Chunking

In the last weeks I have been learning a strategy in maths which is 'chunking'. Chunking is a method for 2-4 digit multiplication. The purpose was thatI could have another strategy under my belt for later in life. Now when I am figuring out math problems one of the strategies I am going to use is chunking.

Animation

Over the last few weeks we have been making animations. They had to have a theme, ours was persisting. Persisting is when you don't give up and below is the animation

Rhythm Interactive

Yesterday we had a visit from the 'Rhythm Interactive' group. There we all got given a drum and were learning to keep the rhythm. We played songs like 'I love drums' and did activities. My favourite part was when he split is in two groups and had us playing to rhythms at the same time. It was an overall enjoyable experience which will stick with me for a while.

IMovie Reflection

In the last few weeks we have been making animations (I am going to embed the animation on another post due to technical issues). I am going to reflect on the second part of the animation when I was working on iMovie (as I have used I can animate before and I haven't used iMovie before). Imovie has a lot of things you can do, you can add sound effects, music and 'scene swappers' ect. But the bad thing is iMovie is very complicated. I recommend iMovie but if you aren't an expert with computers you might need some help.

Short Story

Over the last few weeks we have been writing short stories and this is mine.

Bills, bills and more bills,” I muttered angrily to myself, as I scanned through the pieces of paper scattered on my desk. “At this rate my house is going to be taken off me. I need a job but no one will take me. I suppose I’ve got only one choice… STEAL,” I continued.

That night I got on my black mask, my black jacket and my black pants. I drove over to the neighbours in my black car and when I got out I was greeted by the black night. It was so dark it seemed like a movie. I was going to steal some valuable old coins I had heard them boasting about.

I crept up to the front door. I tried it and it was unlocked, thank goodness. “Yes I’m inside,” I think. I grabbed some valuable china and headed back to the car. “At least I won’t be moving out for a while,” I joked to myself.
