**Teacher Comment:** A beautifully presented science fair board Abbey, well done. Great use of colour and photos to show what you did. Excellent hypothesis with reasons as to why you thought it. A clear method that is well written and easy to follow - but how much dirt and compost did you put in? You have stated how much of everything else to put in, but not this! Good use of a table to display your results. Excellent thorough recording of your observations. It is interesting that the cut flower in Coca Cola and Lemonaide lasted the longest, this is not something I would have picked, why did this happen? Did you do any research into why you obtained the results you did? You needed to include some of the science behind this to further back up your results and include some substance. Apart from this an excellent science fair Abbey, well done.

**Student Comment:** I really enjoyed doing this science experiment. It was lots of fun but the mould on the flowers was really gross. I could have done this better by finding out the science behind it. If I did this science experiment again I would probably do different stuff like change some of the materials.

This week is science week. Today we went to the science lab and we did some little science experiments. Some of them I could not do because I couldn’t get them to work like they were suppose to. We did get instructions for them though. My favourite one was the one with to cups with a long piece of string to join them together. The string was put through a hole in the bottom of the cup. The string was then tied to a tooth pick. After that that one person puts there ear to one cup and the other one talks into the other cup. Then you can hear through the other person talking. I liked going to the science lab.

Yesterday we went to the science lab. We had to find out which substance was which, there was heaps of different way to find out which one was which. The substances were cornflour, salt, cream of tartar, icing sugar and baking soda. My hypothesis was A. cornflour B. salt C. cream of tartar D. Icing sugar E. baking soda The real results were A. cornflour B. salt C. Baking soda D. Icing sugar E. cream of tartar I had so much fun finding out what it was.

__ WALT - Identify and group fingerprints into 3 main categories : arch, loop and whorl __

AIM - To identify your own fingerprints out of an arch, loop and whorl.

HYPOTHESIS I think my finger prints are all loops I think this because when I look at my fingers they look like they are loops.

EQUIPMENT Pencil, paper, sticky tape

METHOD

1. Rub the side of a pencil lead back and fourth on a sheet of paper to build up the black area large enough to take 10 prints. 2. Press one of your fingertips firmly onto the black. Place the sticky side of a piece of tape over your fingertip. ( you may need help with this) 3. Tape the print to the correct location on the finger print form. 4. Using the magnifying glass compare your prints to the pictures above and try to label them as either arches, loops or whorls.



Conclusion: All of my fingerprints are loops. This is a picture of all my fingerprints:
