The Immortality of the soul:

Reflection of a bubble!

Reflection of a bubble:

The year 8’s attended their 4th assignment of science with Mrs Gawith (our teacher). Our task today was to observe the reflection of bubbles provided with the help of sunlight booming through our window. Here is the procedure of what I have completed….

Materials:

• A Straw
• A plastic clear container
• Detergent, glycerin, water
• Natural sunlight facing the table or counter top.

Method:

1. Fill the clear container with the liquid solution and dampen your table, where the sunlight is located.
2. Plunge the straw into the solution and blow a semi circle bubble onto the table.
3. Observe carefully as colours will appear reflecting the sunlight, before evaporating.

Discover all the amazing colours and patterns of a bubble!

WALHT: Include a range of sophisticated/interesting words to hook our audience 

Easter drawing!

The Liturgy of the Eucharist is part of the Easter vigil in the Catholic religion. During Mass people receive  Jesus' body and blood (the bread and wine) also known as the Eucharist. As the priest provides the bread the response ends with AMEN an utterance of an end of prayer meaning "So be it".

Science at Tech!

It was the first day of tech in Term 2. As we had arrived at Pakuranga Intermediate I was shocked yet excited at the same time that the year 8’s were participating in science.

I partnered up with Cheska. Launoa and Philomena positioned themselves beside us. Our task today was to measure 100mls of cold water into a  beaker then to add some detergent. We had been given a straw for each pair to blow to formulate bubbles and observe. As I blew with all my strength, the bubbles evaporated amongst the beaker and over flowed almost touching the tip of the table.  Moving onwards after morning break, we received a magnifying glass to discover all the hidden facts behind blowing a bubble. I had leered to my right as Cheska investigated how to place a pencil into the extensive bubble. I was amazed, as I repeated the same process that Cheska had done.  It was an excellent and exciting learning opportunity.
