Science: me and my DNA.

This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s. 

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  The whole class said they could recognise me from my description. 

                                                                                                          

Last week we went to camp at Cooper's Beach. We went fishing, swimming and we went on the water slide.  I enjoyed fishing the most. I caught five sprats.

garden to table

Today in garden to table I did weeding and planting    and pink, orange, white and purple flowers.  We also planted capsicum ,snow peas, basil, carrots and  pumpkin seeds.

When we had finished weeding, we planted some passionfruit plants in the orchard.  At the end of the session, we all had a picnic to eat our yummy fritters, quiche and kebabs on the school field.

Here is a photo of us sharing our morning tea.

Moon Rover

For science we made a Moon rover lander using only a paper cup, paper, cellotape and straws.  We were given the task of making our Moon rover land softly onto our Moon landscape so that our marsh-mellow astronauts did not fly out.

Mine did work after some modifications. I had to take the top off.
