Maths Wk 5

For math this week we have been learning percentages.
We started off by doing 10% and then we learnt that if you have 20% of 60 you find what the ten percent is then multiply it by 2 so the 20% 60 would be 12.
let me explain it.
20% of 60?  10% of 60 is 6, then 6 x 2 = 12
so that would make the 20% of 60 12.

We have also been learning the mean (average) of a series of numbers.
heres the explanation.

Maia wilson

 
This is Maia Wilson, she is an attack player for  New Zealand silver ferns and the Australian stars. she has played for two seasons and is ready for her third in 2020.

I chose to put this video on my blog because she is my idol. I love how when shes out on the court she doesn't let anything defeat her. Shes a strong and caring person and from what iv'e seen on television and her netball games she has a very bubbly personality.

Science Experiments

This term in Science me Katelyn, Starlet and Maddy made Hokey Pokey.
The recipe we followed was correct but we read the instructions wrong, which caused us not to let it boil for the right amount of time. When we added the baking soda it didn't bubble nor react in anyway. We let it harden over night which was about 18 hours but when we all went to check it in the morning it had hardened overnight but was still sticky in the middle. Although it was under cooked we had fun making it and it didn't actually taste that bad I do feel a little bit sick in the stomach but owell.
Since we stuffed it up this time I think we will retry and research more this time.
