These photos are of our project. The bottom two are of our tri board and the top one is our plants. Going clockwise from top left: Seed Raising Mix; Sand; Mud; Compost.
The thing I enjoyed most about our project was when we got to go to Massey University to see one of Mr Herrings friends about plants.
Our team, consisting of Dionne, Kate and I, were really good at getting our work done, even though we had an occasional fight.
On the matrix, we could get better at nothing, because we think we were expert on everything!!!
Our social action went well. We decide to make a walkway for the school with native trees. When we talked to Mrs Peck about it, she showed us that we already have one, it's just that people don't know about it. So we will probably raise some money to make a proper walkway, not just dirt and grass. We might also try to raise lots of money to make name labels. It could go for years before it is completed, but we will start it.
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 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.
