Water Bottle Rocket Experiment

Today in our science, we did a experiment that is called 'Water Bottle Rocket'.

This experiment is a rocket that is made up of water bottle, tape and some boxes. We're doing it for about 2 weeks, but we only have 2 days in a week that's why we didn't get it done earlier.

Materials needed:

-  1 Plastic Bottle
-  1 roll of tape
-  2 pieces of boxes
-  3 colour paper

Instructions:

-   You need a 1.5 litre bottle.
-   Cut some 3 pieces of wings made up of boxes.
-   Put a tape at the boxes so that it will stick properly.
-   Put a water in the bottle.
-   Put some air in the bottle with water by using a pump.
-   Wait for few seconds then your bottle will fly.

Tips:

-   Do not out too much water so that your bottle will fly high.
-   Don't cut your wings too big.


Making this experiment is a little bit hard because the box is hard to cut. Then, the wings doesn't stick too much in the bottle so you will spend a lot of time cutting the tapes.

Results of our experiment:

Geometry Nets

In Maths, we have been working on the nets of 3D shapes. So we are about to create some 2 different pieces and 3D shapes and stick them together.

Our W.A.L.T is :
We are learning to create and construct nets of different 3D shapes.

My shapes are called:

- Hexagrammic Pyramid
- Icosahedron

Hexagrammic Pyramid has ...
Faces  -  6
Edges  -  12
Vertices  -  7

Icosahedron has ... 
Faces  -  20
Edges  -  30
Vertices  -  12


Hexagrammic Pyramid

This task is a little bit hard. Because I haven't seen those shapes before, but I can do it. The only struggle in this task is the part of sticking your shapes together but they don't stick. It also stick in your hand and when you remove the glue the paper will get ripped. But I searched some information in google of how to do it but nothing is the same as our task. I never gave up doing it, until I reached the point that I stick them all together without any struggle. That's how I did my nets easily.

    -  Avoid silly comments
    -  Don't repeat your comment in another blogs

3 Countries Currency

For our maths, we are about to research the history of the New Zealand Currency. So our task is to create a DLO that shows my research in New Zealand Currency. I used Google Drawing to make this DLO. We are also about to create a DLO for the New Zealand two trading partners. So it means that I'm going to show you the DLO that I made in Australia and China.
