What is a force?

Kia ora
This is my DLO about what a force is. We had to read a text and look for the key words/ideas in it. That's the important stuff. Then we had to set the key ideas out in a tidy way on a new DLO.
The hard part was: Figuring out what was important.
The easy part was: Finding some illustrations for my DLO.

Today I am going to share with you a DLO I made about Forces and motion. We had to read a text and then pluck out the important ideas and set them out clearly on a new DLO.

The learning behind this was:

Learn more about forces

Be able to identify important ideas

What was hard: It’s hard to find the main ideas

What was easy: Finding pictures to suit the words

Science Exploring

We have been learning about science and we made a Science Exploring DLO. My question is -  does a ball go faster than a toy car? I think everything was so easy and here is my photo. Making the ball was so difficult.

Poetry Lesson 3: What is rhythm.

Learn:1. That rhythm is a main clue that a piece of writing might be poetry.

2.  What rhythm is.

We have been learning about earthquakes. I worked with the teacher and a group of buddies to finish a Google Drawing and a PMI.

Structure of the Earth

Structure of the Earth Facts

We are learning about the structure of the Earth.

I learnt that the Earth is made up of 4 layers. They are the Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core.

Facts about each layer:

Crust - The crust is the thinnest layer on the Earth. It is were we live and it is between 8 to 40 km thick.

Mantle - The mantle is the thickest layer and it is made out of Iron and Nickel. The mantle is so hard and deep that you can't dig straight through it.

Outer Core - The Outer Core can reach up to 4,000 C to 6,000 C. The Outer Core is squishy like a marshmallow.   

Inner Core - The final layer is the Inner Core, it is the hottest and deepest part of the Earth. Even though it is extremely hot in the inner core, it remains solid because of the pressure created by the other layer all around it.

Our group -  Kane,Max,Jaxon

First we created a 3D image of the earth using clay, knife and paint.

We then cut the shape in half to show the different layers. After waiting for it to dry, we identified each layer by painting them in different colours.

Below are some pictures of our

The Living World Unit

We did a multiple intelligences test and we had to make a living world  slide show that showed our learning.
My intelligences are Kinaesthetic
Linguistic
Musical
I am looking forward to learning about the living world.
