 みなさん、こんにちわ 
Minasan, kon'nichiwa (Hello everyone). 

Aim:

I want to find out what happens when you put Skittles in water.

Method:

Equipment

• 8x skittles
• Warm water
• Petri dish
• Beaker
• Paper towel

Instructions:

1. Get your equipment.
2. Put the skittles into the Petri dish.
3. Spread them out around the sides.
4. Clean the beaker.
5. GENTLY pour the water in the middle of the petri dish so that it is half full.
6. Observe what happens.

Results:

Describe what happened?
When I poured the water on the Petri dish, the colours of the skittles dissolved in the warm water. I ordered the skittles into the rainbow colours so that it looked good, the colours spread out in the middle of the warm water, and formed some sort of pie chart.

Edible Slime

Hello everyone, in Science we learned how to make edible slime.

Aim:

I want to find out how to make edible slime without getting poison.

Method:

Equipment:

• 6/7 Marshmallow

• 2 teaspoon of olive oil

• 2 teaspoon sugar icing

• 1 cup cornstarch

• 1 bowl

• 1 teaspoon / 1 Spoon

• 1 Cup

Instruction:

1. Get all of the equipment ready.

2. Open the marshmallow packet.

3. Put 6/7 of marshmallows inside the bowl 

4. Put the bowl inside the microwave for 40 seconds.

5. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil inside the bowl to make the slime fluffy. (Makes the slime less sticky).

6. Start mixing them with a spoon.

7. Add a 1 cup of cornstarch.

8. Start mixing them with a spoon.

9. Add 2 teaspoons of sugar icing to make the marshmallow slime sweeter.

Result:

When we created the slime, the slime was very sticky. We tried to add more sugar icing so that it would be less sticky, but it didn't work. Here is a picture of the slime:

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you have learned something new. Bye!

Gummy Bear Osmosis

Hello everyone, in science, we are working on a gummy bear osmosis.

Aim:

I want to find out what happens when gummy bears are put in liquids.

Method:

Equipment

• Sodium Chloride / Salt Water
• Safety Glasses
• Normal Water
• Sucrose / Sugar Water
• Gummy Bears
• 2 Petri Dishes
• Marker Pen
• Electronic Scales

Instructions

1. Get your equipment
2. Wear safety glasses
3. Using the market pen, write your name and the conditions (dry, water, saltwater, sugar water) and the weight of gummy bear
4. Do the experiment.

Pictures:

Results:

	Dry Gummy	Sugar Gummy	Water Gummy	Salty Gummy
Initial Weight: (g)	2.45g	2.21g	2.23g	2.22g
Final Weight: (g)	2.43g	5.23g	7.45g	4.07g
Difference	.2g -	gain 3.02	gain 5.22g	gain 1.85g

The water gummy is the heaviest gummy, the reason why it became heavy its because the gummy absorbs the water. Gummy bears are dry when they are made, so when you put it to H2O, its most likely to loose it's colour and flavour.

The dry gummy didn't gain weight, but it lost weight because we let it out all night. So probably, it became cold.

The sugar gummy gained weight because gummy bears are created to be sweet, when a gummy bear and sucrose get mixed together.

How To Be Normal

みなさん、こんにちわ 
Minasan, kon'nichiwa (Hello everyone). 

Hurumanu 1 is Outstander. We were put into groups that matches our level. Our task was to read the article that the teacher assigned us to do. The name of the article is 'How To Be Normal'.

How to be Normal

Did I understand?

1) Who did Charley bang into?

Charley accidentally banged into Michaela when she was walking to her desk.

2) ‘Charley’s at…..more relaxed.” What's the main message/purpose of this paragraph? How does the author create this mood? What does it teach us about Charley?

The paragraph shows that she prefers to go to the library because it is peaceful and quiet there.

3) What impression does the author want to give you of Charley? How do you know?

After reading this article, I realised that Charley is an introvert. She is lonely, no one really hangs out with

her.

4) Why is Charley angry with Amy? Do you think that she is right to be angry? Why/why not?

In my opinion, Charley didn’t have the right to be angry with Amy, Amy was just trying to stick up for

Charley. But Charley didn’t want Amy to stick up for her.

5) Find a range of words and phrases to show how Charley is feeling throughout the story.

• Friendless - Someone who has no friend.

• Isolated - Far away from other people.

• Downcast - A person who always looks down to the ground.

Exploring Language!

What do these words mean? Find a definition for each one and use it in a sentence.

• Screeches - Screeches is a type of high pitched screaming noise.

• Apologise - Apologise means saying sorry for what they have done wrong.

• Intently - Someone who is eager for attention.

Write 3 sentences about the story using ‘they’re’, ‘there’ and ‘their’.

There was a girl that was eager to be normal. She wasn't like other girls, instead she was an introvert.

Her name was Charley, she didn't have any friends, she was lonely in fact. No one stood up for her.

When Charley was walking to her class, some people were throwing their paper around the class.

Suddenly, she accidentally hit someone’s desk. The desk that she accidentally hit was Michaela’s,

Michaela’s friends were also there. They're the people who pick on Charley. Her feet got rammed.

All In Order!

Select at least 10 of your adjectives and put them in alphabetical order.

Best

Better

Chewed-up

Closed

Long

Old

Quiet

Relaxed

Weird

Worst

Why do you think we gave you this article to read as part of our Outstanders hurumanu? Write a

paragraph explaining your ideas and giving evidence from the story.

This hurumanu is called outstander, so it might relate to being an outstander or a bystander. The story talks about a girl who is an introvert, she was getting bullied, so she wanted to be normal. 

さようなら
