	Aerodynamics Crystals Skittles Barefoot Measuring Fornicates/Science A Filtration plant Forensic Balloons ...I work well and successfully with friends and mates, but I like working with other people who don’t diss track me or muck around well i’m doing my work. ... Goal 1- I have been listening to Mr. Palmer and listening to his and other people's ideas and opinions so that I can understand what to do. Second my goal for this year is to use my ears to listen so i know how to do the experiment. Goal 2- I am a curious learner and I ask questions so I can be a great learner.  Also I ask questions so that if I make a mistake I can learn by mistakes. My goal for this year is to ask questions and learn from my mistakes. Goal: 3- I complete work in time im given. When the teacher gives me a time to complete my work i complete and publish work on time that i’m given. My goal also for this term is to publish work I blog and complete work the time im given. Goal 4- I understand other people's ideas and opinions on what they ask or say. If i don't understand something then i go home and work on my comprehension. My goal for science and this term is to understand and work on my understanding so i can understand people's ideas and opinions in science. Teachers and friends trust me to use their devices because they know that i am kind and respectful and they also know that i take care of things. My goal for this term is to be trusted with devices and to take care of the devices. What i have been doing and what i have learned in science/Home chemistry: Throughout this term my class have been doing some work on Science and home chemistry. Half way through the term we learned alot about Aerodynamic. What I have learned about Aerodynamic is the, Gravity, lift, Drag, and the thrust. We found that the normal plane flew straight for 5 metres. Secondly the Ailerons also directed straight as well and it flew 3 metres. Also with using the paper clip, the paper plane flew 5 metres and it flew straight but curved a little bit. Here are some words and parts of a plane I have learned. What I have learned about thrust is that thrust directs the plane to where it is going, so if the captain turns the wheel to the left then the thrust will direct the plane to the left. Secondly I have learned lots about Gravity. Also near the half way through the term we done some work on crystals and how salt and sugar are crystals and also how they were made and how the salt forms underwater. What I have learned about how salt forms is that salt forms in sea water and is typically formed by the evaporation of salty water. Also through the term we have been measuring each other to the where we are at with our height and our foot length. We measured Nikos foot and found out that it was 27cm and we also measured Ryan's foot and we found out that it was 22cm. Secondly we measured lasa's foot and he got 28 cm. After we measured our foots we measured our heights. Nikos height was 166 cm and Ryan's height was 152 cm and lasa's height 174cm. Also we having been looking at our fingerprints by using a balloon. What we done was we had black ink and put our finger or thumb on it then we put it on the balloon and scanned it.
Student’s Comment i enjoy doing sciences with SH and mr palmer and Raewyn Davis
