This explanation explains why some liquids mix and some don't.
Firstly, some do mix because they are the same density. Oil is denser than water so it floats on top. They are immiscable.
Immiscable is like when you are playing on the playground. There are girls in one corner and boys in another. They don't want to mix with the different gender, just like the oil.
But you can make them mix. Just put salt in. Salt will push the oil down to the bottom. But when the salt dissolves, the oil floats back up to it's friends. We tried it, and it looked like a lava lamp.
Now you know why some liquids mix and some don't.
This is how the hole appeared in Doug Robinson's paddock in Invercargill. One night, Giant Jump-a-lot couldn't get to sleep. So he decided to get up and, well, jump on the clouds. When he jumped on a rather small cloud, (1m wide and 40cm deep), it fell out of the sky and made the hole. Then Giant Jumpalot jumped and the cloud flew back up. Giant Jumpalot landed back on the cloud and went up with it. Then he went back to bed and fell fast asleep straight away. Because of all the pressure that was put on the cloud, it filled the hole up with rain water. That is how Doug Robinson's hole appeared.
This is why some liquids mix and some don't. As you know, some liquids do mix. It all depends on the density. Oil is denser than water, so it floats on top of the water. They are immiscable. That's like when you're playing on the playground at school. There is a group of girls over there and a group of boys over here. They just want to be with their friends. It's the same with the oil. It doesn't want to mix with the water. That is what immiscable means. But there is a way to make them mix. If you put salt on top of the oil, it will get pushed down to the bottom of the water. But when the salt dissolves, the oil goes back with it's friends. It looks sort of like a lava lamp. That is why some liquids mix and some don't.
I need to: use paragraphs
What happened:
When I entered the room with Dominic, I sat down, facing the computer. I asked for Holiann, but she was at dancing, so her best friend Carly came up. It was 4:00pm in Alabama. We asked each other questions, and it was so fun! I was so excited!
Conversation:
We had a really good conversation, because we gave great answers and asked great questions. I think it was great. Next time, I would actually take turns asking questions.
I learnt that it can be difficult working out the average with lots of numbers. I made the graph really well. Next time, I will try to get the graph right first try. It shows that the boys improved and the girls didn't. Boo-hoo!!!
I remember my most thrilling moment, sitting on the mountain of metal in
I wrote this in writing explorers.
What did Sir Ed do?
As you know, he climbed Mount Everest, but that doesn't make him a hero. What he really did was: served people in need; built schools and medical clinics and many more. He was always helping poor people in Nepal. Even though he was a New Zealander, he cared for people around the world.
Where did Sir Ed live/become a hero?
Sir Ed was a New Zealander, but after he climbed Mount Everest, he spent lots of time around the world raising money for poor people, especially the Shepras. When he came down Everest, he went through Khumjung village, the hometown of most of the Shepras. A few years later, an elderly shepra came to him and said "Our children lack education." So that's where he became a hero.
When did Sir Ed become a hero?
Probably when he started raising money for the Shepras. He must have been their hero! Or maybe when he helped build the schools and medical clinics.
Who helped Sir Ed?
His wife Louise and Tenzing. His wife encouraged him and boosted him. Tenzing was always doing the same. Plus, probably the Shepras, by needing him and being so nice to him. No wonder he wanted to help them!
Why did Sir Ed help the Shepras?
Because it was worthwhile, and it gave him more satisfaction than a footprint on a mountain! He also never felt sorry for them and never tried to impose projects on them. There were just to many requests to say no!
How did Sir Ed succeed?
Sir Ed succeeded in climbing Mount Everest, but he also succeeded in being a great person by caring about people and helping them.
Which H.O.Ms did Sir Ed use?
Definitely persistance in climbing Mount Everst, and taking responsible risks. When helped people, he listened with empathy and understanding.
Conclusion:
Sir Edmund Hillary was a kind, caring man, who never gave up and thought of others before himself.
