Microscope - Science

Yesterday during our science lesson we put our selves into pairs and got given a microscope that we had to connect into the wall peiece. Our first step was to grab a slide which is a little rectangular shaped  glass that has a little dip in the middle of the centre. In the centre of the slide we use a pipette that is used to transform a source of liquid into the little dip that is found in the centre of a slide. We then place the slide onto the microscope machine that then can show us the little bacteria found in the liquid source. On the left side is a photograph that represents what we saw through the microscope.

On the right side there is another image of a weird shaped bacteria that we as pairs were trying to find in the liquid. We looked at it for a long time and changed the scope so that we could look at it from a different angle but we still didn't see anything move, it was a weird shape and there were very few dots and more like stick figure shapes shown.

WALT: An interesting and informative story about experiencing a fake Auckland eruption.

I was in my kitchen minding my own business when the ground suddenly shook and I was unsure of what to do. I go straight to my window to find the volcano on the other side of the island had exploded and everything was exploding from inside out. The crust of the island was cracking and water was over flowing on the roads, I suddenly felt fear taking over my body as I have another look outside I see that the volcano is having a vertical eruption which produced a huge amount of ash spreading through out the sky. Lava starts to pour down the volcanic disaster and water starts taking over the city one by one the town is flooded and people become stranded in the house with no where safe to escape. As the volcanic rocks start to form the mantle an magma build up more and more and start spitting out at the island, houses are being attacked, people are unaware of where to go and there is no way out. It begins to quieten down but several people are hurt, ash has covered the once beautiful and blue sky, steam builds up on windows, and it gets hard and harder to see. (NOT FINISHED)

Science Reflection

WALT; Describe the layers of the earth and how they were represented by a cake.

We can all look around and see the sky and the ocean, but do we know what is beneath our feet?

well if you didn't know there are four layers now starting from the closest to us is the crust that stops the hot mantle beneath it from burning the ground. Next layer which I just said is mantle and this layer is a hot liquid source. The next layer underneath the mantle is called the outer core which is composed of mostly iron and nickel. Last but not least the Inner core the earths innermost part. The Inner core is primarily a solid.

The colour and layers of the cake represents all of the layers of the earth and the colour of the cake layers were similar to the earths layers.
