Pepper and water.

During our lockdown learning this task was all about science. We learnt about this really cool experiment with pepper, water, and dish washing liquid.

For this task me and my sister had to put water on the plate and sprinkle some pepper on the water. Then you put a tiny bit of dishwashing liquid on your finger, dip your finger into the water, and watch the magic! All the pepper should move to the side and there will be a big gap in the middle were there is no water. 

I enjoyed doing the experiment with my sister and watching all the pepper move to the side when your finger hits the water. The water monocles are strongly attracted together and when we add soap we break down this water tension and the water monocles quickly spread out carrying the pepper with it. If you add less pepper it's able to spread out even further. Here's a link that takes you to youtube so you can learn about the experiment and maybe try it out at home.

5 fun facts about the paralympics.

This week for our lockdown learning we have been learning about the Paralympics. The Paralympics is like the Olympics except it's for people with disabilities and difficulties. The paralympics was created when Sir Ludwig Guttmann organized a sports competition for British World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries in England in 1948. The paralympic games date back to 1948 when an achery tournament for 16 individuals in wheel chairs at an english hospital as part of the patients rehibitation. 

I enjoyed researching facts about the paralympics because I find the Paralympics very interesting. In this task the only thing I found difficult was finding the 5th and 4th fact to put on the google drawing.Have you ever seen anyone competing in the Paralympics? I find it really interesting watching the people competing and doing all the amazing things that they do with disabilities, it's really amazing watching them doing the Paralympics. Heres a link that takes you to youtube to watch and learn all the about the amazing Paralympics.
