Haiku Poem Softball

LI: We used a Japanese formula called haiku, it uses syllables.

I tried batting the ball

but I was missing the ball

each time I keep missing

I ran to the first

base then the second base from

there to a home run

We swapped over to fielding

and it was the other groups turn

to bat but softball was finished

Joseph Mmm, That's Tasty!

Mmm, That’s Tasty! by Neville Gardner

School Journal June 2012

WALT: Begin to use a range of scientific symbols, conventions, and vocabulary.

SC:      Complete a small science report on the taste + smell experiment

1. There are 5 main flavour receptors. Sweet, Salty, Bitter, Sour and Umami.

List some foods fit each of the flavour receptors.  SHARE

Bitter	Coffee Cocoa beans Ginger
Salty	Seawater Corn beef Beef jerky Turkey Jerky
Sour	Sour lollies Lemon Lime Flavoured powder (drinks)
Sweet	Chocolate Lollies Cake (Caramel slice, mud cake and carrot cake) Coconut
Umami (savoury)	Pies Quiche Mince savoury (mini savoury) Chicken savoury (mini savoury)

2. Record the words you didn't know before. Add a picture or sentence to describe what they mean.

WORD	MEANING
Papillae (p.26)	Something small
Receptor (p.26 )	Its sensitive to touch and heat
texture (p.25)	The flavour is either rough or has soft texture
recognise (p.28)	Identifying someone you’ve seen before

3. On Page 29, there is the great jelly bean challenge. Mrs Parker will provide you with some Jelly Beans (or other items) to complete this task. SHARE
   Use the template for a science report below to write what you did, and what you found.

Question: Do our taste buds require smell?

Yes so you could have a better taste and smell in your meal because if you cannot smell it wouldn't be tasty how it normally would be it will corrupt your meal that you are having

Hypothesis:

I think theres going to be no taste in the jelly beans because we closed our noses so we couldn't smell and we cover our visioned so we couldn't see so I think theres going to be 15%

of taste.

Materials: Blindfold, jelly beans and a person to experiment on

Procedure:

1. First you find a partner (make sure he is alive)
2. Then you get jelly beans (make sure there not expired)
3. make sure your partners eyes are closed and nose is blocked.
4. After you have found the jelly beans insert it into your partners mouth and Then you write down what your partner is saying about the taste and the smell.

Observations:

Conclusion:

Once completed remember to  SHARE your work to blog.
ONLY share the answers/activities which have  SHARE next to them.

When sharing your work on your blog remember to write a sentence to explain what you read, and what the activity was.
Conference with your teacher before sharing.

Waves Win

When land is reclaimed from the sea, Huge concrete blocks are used to protect it from the waves.

Over time, the sea erodes these blocks so that only a part of them remains.

For example, these diagrams show 5 years’ erosion on a concrete block. (Of course, most blocks would not erode quite as evenly as the ones in the diagrams)

1. A, what do the before and after decimal numbers mean?

Erosion from 5 years

           B, Write 0.750 as a fraction

3/4           

2. Here are some other eroded blocks. Find the decimal number for each eroded block. Write your answers with three decimal places. You may need to build each block with place value blocks first.

A. 0.500     B. 0.260   C. 0.475  D.0.665    E.1.475

3. What is the simplest fraction you can write for each block in question 2?
