Crossword Puzzle on Inferences

The Our World Show

On Thursday the 25th of May a select group of students attended the science roadshow. The last thing that we attended was the our world show. In this show, they showed us the all of the different gadgets that wouldn't work with out the world working with it. For example an x-ray wave is below the visible wave in the electromagnetic spectrum, however just become we can't see something doesn't mean that it is not there so people use x-ray machines which pretty much are just more powerful eyes so they can see the waves passing through. There are also machines that do the same thing for ultra violet waves and infrared waves

What am I? Personifaction Poem

WALHT: write a poem using personification

As I am punched
With a tightly clenched fist
I rush through the air
With a breeze trying to stop me

Then gravity pulls me down
It keeps on dragging me down
Then all of a sudden
I am hit with a forearm

I feel the same rush flying through the air
I feel fingers and hands all over me
I hit the ground with the force of a falling wrecking ball
I hear screaming and cheering as I am just laying there in wait

What am I?

Expanding Metal Experiment

On Thursday the 25th of May a select group of students attended the science roadshow. One of the experiments was a expanding metal experiment. Where you had to blow dry some metal rods with a hair dryer and you would see that the scale showed that the metal was getting heavier and heavier because it was expanding. This showed that when metal is put under high heat then metal expands.

Rugby Game

Yesterday, Marist Eastern under thirteen restricted (weight for under thirteens it is 55kgs and under), played against Marist St Pieters. It was our first game since we had a scrum training session.  If you looked at our first scrum of the season to our latest you can see that we are scrummaging completely differently. We are all pushing together and not just relying on the front row, which I am in playing tighthead prop (number 3). I received the player of the day award  from my forwards coach Paul (in the picture)which is a buy 1 get 1 free dominos pizza voucher for my good scrummaging and rucking. If we could just get a bit more practice with the locks, flankers and number 8 then I believe that we would have a very strong scrum with lots of power.

Light Blocker Investigation

On Thursday the 25th of May a select group of students attended the science roadshow. One of the experiments was a light blocker experiment. Where you had to look into a box when the lid was closed which blocked out all of the light and then you did it again with the lid open so that light would come in. This showed that you can't see anything without, it also showed that we need light otherwise life would become really hard.
