Hello, This week for math we are doing a science investigation, we got the choice to work in a peer or by yourself but last Tuesday I wasn't here because I had my St Bede's interview and had to go with Joey which is all good. The next day Joey and I ended up doing our science project and it worked pretty good. Overall I had a really fun time and hope we do something like this next term. Have you done a science experiment before?    Link to science method

This Term we have been doing a science project with or without a buddy. I chose with a buddy and that was Logan because I think we work really well together. This week we have been focusing on our background research and hypothesis and that's what I am going to be sharing with you. Hypothesis It will affect its travel because the wings of a plane play a big role in aerodynamics and its travel of a plane. The different wing span will make the paper airplane go further because the air will keep it going. Background research The way that a paper airplane works is that while the plane is flying forward, air moving over and on the bottom of the wings providing lift. If the wings are longer it fly better because the wings providing air through longer wings will keep it going. Paper Airplane I hope you learned a lot about my background. Have you been doing a science project if you have what is your question ?    

On the second week of term 2 some year 7 to 8 students got to go out to a teacher's conference this was called voice and choice. That is when some students go to a teacher's conference and speak about what goes on your school but the students say what goes on not the teachers. So me and Trent had to come up with a speech to say to the other teachers that were there. We all got a topic to speak about and a buddy to come up with what we presented ( mine was Trent ). There was a number of topics and our topic was science. This term we get to come up with our own science project and we get to go with a buddy. Mine is Logan and our project is "how does the shape of a paper plane's wings affect its travel distance?" This is mine and Trent's speech. Hi my name is Reuben and this is Trent and we will be sharing with you what it is like in science for the Kaupeka hub for kids. Last term we started to do some science we got to chose out of chemistry, Biology and ph...
